[PATCH bpf v2 0/2] Fix partial copy of non-linear test_run output
From: Sun Jian
Date: Tue Jun 16 2026 - 05:33:27 EST
When BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN returns non-linear output and userspace provides a
short data_out buffer, bpf_test_finish() can return -ENOSPC before copying
the packet prefix or updating data_size_out.
Fix this by deriving the linear copy length from the packet layout rather
than from the already-clamped copy_size. Add selftest coverage for both
non-linear skb and XDP frags paths.
---
Changes in v2:
* Fix the Fixes tag to point to the commit that introduced the shared
non-linear copy-out logic.
* Drop skb-specific wording from the fix commit.
* Move the selftest from skb_load_bytes.c to prog_run_opts.c.
* Add XDP frags coverage in addition to non-linear skb coverage.
v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260615073856.152479-1-sun.jian.kdev@xxxxxxxxx/
Tested with:
./test_progs -t prog_run_opts -v
./test_progs -t skb_load_bytes -v
./test_progs -t xdp_pull_data -v

- bpf: Fix partial copy of non-linear skb test_run output
+ bpf: Fix partial copy of non-linear test_run output
- For non-linear skbs, bpf_test_finish() derives the linear head copy
- length from copy_size - frag_size. This only matches the skb head length
- when copy_size is the full packet size.
+ For non-linear test_run output, bpf_test_finish() derives the linear
+ data copy length from copy_size - frag_size. This only matches the
+ linear data length when copy_size is the full packet size.
When userspace provides a short data_out buffer, copy_size is clamped to
that buffer size. If copy_size is smaller than frag_size, the computed
length becomes negative and bpf_test_finish() returns -ENOSPC before
copying the packet prefix or updating data_size_out.
- Compute the linear head length from the skb layout instead, and clamp the
- head copy length to copy_size. This preserves the expected partial-copy
- semantics: return -ENOSPC, copy the packet prefix that fits in data_out,
- and report the full packet length through data_size_out.
