[ Upstream commit 472c5dd6b95c02b3e5d7395acf542150e91165e7 ]

When the selftest 'tap.c' is compiled with '-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3',
the strcpy() in rtattr_add_strsz() is replaced with a checked
version which causes the test to consistently fail when compiled
with toolchains for which this option is enabled by default.

A buffer overflow is detected by the fortified glibc __strcpy_chk()
since the __builtin_object_size() of `RTA_DATA(rta)` is incorrectly
reported as 1, even though there is ample space in its bounding
buffer `req`.

Additionally, given that IFLA_IFNAME also expects a null-terminated
string, callers of rtaddr_add_str{,sz}() could simply use the
rtaddr_add_strsz() variant. (which has been renamed to remove the
trailing `sz`) memset() has been used for this function since it
is unchecked and thus circumvents the issue discussed in the
previous paragraph.

selftests: net: local_termination: Wait for interfaces to come up 2025-11-24T09:29:58+00:00 Alexander Sverdlin alexander.sverdlin@siemens.com 2025-11-06T16:12:09+00:00 d6f93bba3d7d1e83da8c7690a1a188864c5274d9 [ Upstream commit 57531b3416448d1ced36a2a974a4085ec43d57b0 ] It seems that most of the tests prepare the interfaces once before the test run (setup_prepare()), rely on setup_wait() to wait for link and only then run the test(s). local_termination brings the physical interfaces down and up during test run but never wait for them to come up.

[ Upstream commit 57531b3416448d1ced36a2a974a4085ec43d57b0 ]

It seems that most of the tests prepare the interfaces once before the test
run (setup_prepare()), rely on setup_wait() to wait for link and only then
run the test(s).

local_termination brings the physical interfaces down and up during test
run but never wait for them to come up. If the auto-negotiation takes
some seconds, first test packets are being lost, which leads to
false-negative test results.

Use setup_wait() in run_test() to make sure auto-negotiation has been
completed after all simple_if_init() calls on physical interfaces and test
packets will not be lost because of the race against link establishment.

selftests/net: use destination options instead of hop-by-hop 2025-11-24T09:29:51+00:00 Anubhav Singh anubhavsinggh@google.com 2025-10-30T06:04:36+00:00 efad140b6284767aed2c5f95089362c266d761b0 [ Upstream commit f8e8486702abb05b8c734093aab1606af0eac068 ] The GRO self-test, gro.c, currently constructs IPv6 packets containing a Hop-by-Hop Options header (IPPROTO_HOPOPTS) to ensure the GRO path correctly handles IPv6 extension headers. However, network elements may be configured to drop packets with the Hop-by-Hop Options header (HBH). This causes the self-test to fail in environments where such network elements are present. To improve the robustness and reliability of this test in diverse network environments, switch from using IPPROTO_HOPOPTS to IPPROTO_DSTOPTS (Destination Options). The Destination Options header is less likely to be dropped by intermediate routers and still serves the core purpose of the test: validating GRO's handling of an IPv6 extension header. This change ensures the test can execute successfully without being incorrectly failed by network policies outside the kernel's control.

The GRO self-test, gro.c, currently constructs IPv6 packets containing a
Hop-by-Hop Options header (IPPROTO_HOPOPTS) to ensure the GRO path
correctly handles IPv6 extension headers.

However, network elements may be configured to drop packets with the
Hop-by-Hop Options header (HBH). This causes the self-test to fail
in environments where such network elements are present.

To improve the robustness and reliability of this test in diverse
network environments, switch from using IPPROTO_HOPOPTS to
IPPROTO_DSTOPTS (Destination Options).

The Destination Options header is less likely to be dropped by
intermediate routers and still serves the core purpose of the test:
validating GRO's handling of an IPv6 extension header. This change
ensures the test can execute successfully without being incorrectly
failed by network policies outside the kernel's control.
