[PATCH v3 4/4] selftests/bpf: add test for blkcg io.stat BPF kfuncs

From: Ziyang Men

Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 17:21:54 EST


Add cgroup_iter_io to test the blkcg io.stat BPF kfuncs. The BPF
program acquires the I/O css, flushes its statistics, converts it to a
typed blkcg under RCU, walks the blkgs, and releases the css reference.

The test performs O_DIRECT I/O on a private loop device. It checks the
device ID and counters against io.stat.
