[PATCH bpf-next] selftests/bpf: Drop the on_enter recursion check of task_local_storage
From: Qiliang Yuan
Date: Thu Oct 08 2026 - 21:49:50 EST
test_recursion attaches on_enter to sys_enter and on_update to
bpf_local_storage_update, makes one syscall, and checks the task
storage values left behind and the recursion misses of both programs.
on_enter runs for every syscall of the system and returns early for
other tasks. On a preemptible kernel, a task can be preempted while it
runs on_enter, and a task entering a syscall on the same CPU then misses
the program. With other tests running in parallel, on_enter ends up
with recursion misses that have nothing to do with the test task, and
the check expecting none fails.
Drop the check. map_a holding 200, which only on_enter of the test task
writes, already shows that on_enter ran for it.
