[PATCH bpf-next 0/3] selftests/bpf: Fix prog_tests framework self-tests

From: KaFai Wan

Date: Mon Oct 12 2026 - 10:27:45 EST


Three prog_tests framework self-tests fail depending on how test_progs
is invoked:

- ./test_progs -t prog_tests_framework/test_fail -v
test_prog_tests_framework:FAIL:skip_cnt_check
unexpected skip_cnt_check: actual 0 != expected 2

- ./test_progs -t prog_tests_framework_expected_msgs -v
Caught signal #11!
Stack trace:
./test_progs(crash_handler+0x38)[0x55620006fbb0]

- ./test_progs -t prog_tests_framework_compare_text -v
test_prog_tests_framework_compare_text:PASS:mismatch_rc 0 nsec
Caught signal #11!
Stack trace:
./test_progs(crash_handler+0x38)[0x564ddbfcfbb0]

Patch #1 counts the subtests that actually ran, so the skip and error
count checks no longer fail when -t or -n filters out some subtests.

Patches #2 and #3 skip the subtests that inspect the log buffer when the
output is not captured, such as with -v in non-parallel mode, instead of
crashing on a NULL log_buf.
