selftests/bpf: Fix pointer arithmetic in test_xdp_do_redirect
Cast operation has a higher precedence than addition. The code here wants to zero the 2nd half of the 64-bit metadata, but due to a pointer arithmetic mistake, it writes the zero at offset 16 instead. Just adding parentheses around "data + 4" would fix this, but I think this will be slightly better readable with array syntax. I was unable to test this with tools/testing/selftests/bpf/vmtest.sh, because my glibc is newer than glibc in the provided VM image. So I just checked the difference in the compiled code. objdump -S tools/testing/selftests/bpf/xdp_do_redirect.test.o: - *((__u32 *)data) = 0x42; /* metadata test value */ + ((__u32 *)data)[0] = 0x42; /* metadata test value */ be7: 48 8d 85 30 fc ff ff lea -0x3d0(%rbp),%rax bee: c7 00 42 00 00 00 movl $0x42,(%rax) - *((__u32 *)data + 4) = 0; + ((__u32 *)data)[1] = 0; bf4: 48 8d 85 30 fc ff ff lea -0x3d0(%rbp),%rax - bfb: 48 83 c0 10 add $0x10,%rax + bfb: 48 83 c0 04 add $0x4,%rax bff: c7 00 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,(%rax) Fixes: 5640b6d8 ("selftests/bpf: fix "metadata marker" getting overwritten by the netstack") Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20240506145023.214248-1-mschmidt@redhat.com
