This series introduces a new test that checks for a null pointer dereference that may happen when there is a transport change[1]. This bug was fixed in [2].
Note that this test *cannot* fail, it hangs if it triggers a kernel oops. The intended use-case is to run it and then check if there is any oops in the dmesg. This test is based on Hyunwoo Kim's[3] and Michal's python reproducers[4].

This can cause strange and unexpected behaviors (connect returning success on a non-existing CID). - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Sorry, this took waaay longer than expected. Changes in v3: Addressed Stefano's and Michal's comments: - Added the splat text to the commit commessage. - Introduced commit hash that fixes the bug. - Not using perror anymore on pthread_* functions. - Listener is just created once. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Changes in v2: - Addressed Stefano's comments: - Timeout is now using current_nsec() - Check for return values - Style issues - Added Hyunwoo Kim to Suggested-by - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] --- Luigi Leonardi (2): vsock/test: Add macros to identify transports vsock/test: Add test for null ptr deref when transport changes tools/testing/vsock/Makefile | 1 + tools/testing/vsock/util.h | 4 + tools/testing/vsock/vsock_test.c | 170 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 175 insertions(+) --- base-commit: 647496422ba9d2784fb8e15b3fda7fe801b1f2ff change-id: 20250306-test_vsock-3e77a9c7a245 Best regards, -- Luigi Leonardi <[email protected]>
