Hi Kees and James,

seccomp_bpf test hangs right after the following test passes
with EBUSY. Please see log at the end.

/* Installing a second listener in the chain should EBUSY */
EXPECT_EQ(user_trap_syscall(__NR_getpid,
SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_NEW_LISTENER),
-1);
EXPECT_EQ(errno, EBUSY);


The user_notification_basic test starts running I assume and then
the hang.

The only commit I see that could be suspect is the following as
it talks about adding SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF

Merge branch 'next-seccomp' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security

Pull seccomp updates from James Morris:

- Add SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF

- seccomp fixes for sparse warnings and s390 build (Tycho)

* 'next-seccomp' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security:
seccomp, s390: fix build for syscall type change
seccomp: fix poor type promotion
samples: add an example of seccomp user trap
seccomp: add a return code to trap to userspace
seccomp: switch system call argument type to void *
seccomp: hoist struct seccomp_data recalculation higher


Any ideas on how to proceed? Here is the log. The following
reproduces the problem.

Looks like the test is unfriendly when running the current selftest on
an old kernel version. A quick look seems like it's missing some
ASSERT_* cases where EXPECT_* is used. I'll send a patch.

ASSERT will kill the test case though right? I thought we were
supposed to use EXPECT when we wanted it to keep going. In particular,
it looks like in the get_metadata test, we should be using expect
instead of assert in some places, so we can get to the write() that
does the synchronization. Something like,

But also, is running new tests on an old kernel expected to work? I
didn't know that :).


I am running Linux 5.0-rc2 and not an older kernel.
