In test_sockmap.c, the testcase sets socket nonblock first, and then calls select() and recvmsg() to receive data. If some error occur, nonblock setting will make recvmsg() return immediately, rather than blocking forever. However, the way to call fcntl() to set nonblock is wrong. To set socket noblock, we need to use > fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK); rather than: > fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK); Signed-off-by: Qiao Ma <mqaio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c index 0fbaccdc8861..abb4102f33b0 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_sockmap.c @@ -598,7 +598,12 @@ static int msg_loop(int fd, int iov_count, int iov_length, int cnt, struct timeval timeout; fd_set w; - fcntl(fd, fd_flags); + err = fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, fd_flags); + if (err < 0) { + perror("fcntl failed"); + goto out_errno; + } + /* Account for pop bytes noting each iteration of apply will * call msg_pop_data helper so we need to account for this * by calculating the number of apply iterations.
