Recently, I frequently hit the following test failure:
[root@arch-fb-vm1 bpf]# ./test_progs -n 33/1
test_lookup_update:PASS:skel_open 0 nsec
...
test_lookup_update:PASS:sync_rcu 0 nsec
test_lookup_update:FAIL:map1_leak inner_map1 leaked!
#33/1 btf_map_in_map/lookup_update:FAIL
#33 btf_map_in_map:FAIL
In the test, after map is closed and then after two rcu grace periods,
it is assumed that map_id is not available to user space.
But the above assumption cannot be guaranteed. After zero or one
or two rcu grace periods in different siturations, the actual
freeing-map-work is put into a workqueue. Later on, when the work
is dequeued, the map will be actually freed.
See bpf_map_put() in kernel/bpf/syscall.c.
By using workqueue, there is no ganrantee that map will be actually
freed after a couple of rcu grace periods. This patch removed
such map leak detection and then the test can pass consistently.
Please ignore this one. There is another patch with the same subject later but
with one more change to fix compilation error. The reason is I send this
patch but forget to fold a simple fix in. I waited for half an hour but
the email didn't reach me or mailing list. I do not know what is going
and thought it may have some issues. So I amended the fix and send
another one. It looks like the other patch appeared in the mailing list
too.
