[PATCH bpf v1] selftests/bpf: Fix test_maps sockmap failure
From: Jiayuan Chen
Date: Wed Jul 01 2026 - 03:16:56 EST
test_maps fails in the sockmap test because sockmap_verdict_prog.c
drops the packet when the first 8 bytes are not directly accessible:
if (data + 8 > data_end)
return SK_DROP;
The blamed commit removed bpf_skb_pull_data() from the stream parser
program so that the parser no longer modifies the skb. That was needed,
but it also removed an implicit side effect: bpf_skb_pull_data()
linearized enough of the skb for later direct packet access.
In this test, the send side goes through the sockmap SK_MSG path. The
skb can have skb->len == 20 while its linear area is empty, so the
verdict program sees data == data_end and drops the packet even though
the payload length is sufficient.
Keep the parser read-only, and pull the first 8 bytes in the verdict
program before reading or writing them. Reload data/data_end after
bpf_skb_pull_data() as required.
