[PATCH net v1 2/2] selftests/bpf: add test for xdp_bonding xmit_hash_policy compat

From: Jiayuan Chen

Date: Thu Feb 26 2026 - 03:09:36 EST


From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a selftest to verify that changing xmit_hash_policy to vlan+srcmac
is rejected when a native XDP program is loaded on a bond in 802.3ad
mode. Without the fix in bond_option_xmit_hash_policy_set(), the change
succeeds silently, creating an inconsistent state that triggers a kernel
WARNING in dev_xdp_uninstall() when the bond is torn down.

The test attaches native XDP to a bond0 (802.3ad, layer2+3), then
attempts to switch xmit_hash_policy to vlan+srcmac and asserts the
operation fails. It also verifies the change succeeds after XDP is
detached, confirming the rejection is specific to the XDP-loaded state.
