[PATCH bpf-next 3/4] selftests/bpf: add thread_wq cgroup test

From: Hui Zhu

Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 03:16:45 EST


From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add test cases for bpf_thread_wq with cgroup attachment:

- Test thread_wq execution in a specified cgroup and verify
callback runs in the target cgroup
- Test thread_wq execution without cgroup attachment and verify
callback runs in a different cgroup

This validates that bpf_thread_wq properly attaches to and
executes callbacks within the specified cgroup context.
