[PATCH bpf-next 6/7] selftests/bpf: Add tests for the generic netlink BPF hook

From: Anton Protopopov <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-31 10:59:07
Also in: bpf, netdev
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [selftests] (test runners & infrastructure), kernel selftest framework, the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Shuah Khan, Shuah Khan, Linus Torvalds

Add a few tests for the new generic netlink BPF hook.
Policies only apply themselves to the "nlctrl" family.

The following tests are being added:

  * doit: allow or deny CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY

  * dump: allow or deny CTRL_CMD_GETPOLICY, nlmsg_flags |= NLM_F_DUMP

  * nlmsg_flags: allow or deny a command based on nlmsg_flags

  * other_family: check that other families still pass

Test also uses "ethtool" generic netlink family, so enable it in config.
This family is also required for the subsequent ethtool-specific selftests.
