[ndctl PATCH] test/fwctl: Add Get Feature OOB rejection regression test

From: Richard Cheng

Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 10:00:35 EST


Add a negative case to the CXL fwctl test that issues a Get Feature
FWCTL_RPC with out_len == offset(struct fwctl_rpc_cxl_out, payload) and
a non-zero count. The kernel must reject this with -EINVAL instead of
writing the feature payload past the rpc_out buffer.

This is the userspace regression test for corresponding kernel fix [1].
