selftests/bpf: Run cgroup1_hierarchy test in own mount namespace
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The cgroup1_hierarchy test uses setup_classid_environment to setup
cgroupv1 environment. The problem is that the environment is set in
/sys/fs/cgroup and therefore, if not run under an own mount namespace,
effectively deletes all system cgroups:

    $ ls /sys/fs/cgroup | wc -l
    27
    $ sudo ./test_progs -t cgroup1_hierarchy
    torvalds#41/1    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_cgroup1_hierarchy:OK
    torvalds#41/2    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_root_cgid:OK
    torvalds#41/3    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_level:OK
    torvalds#41/4    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_cgid:OK
    torvalds#41/5    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_hid:OK
    torvalds#41/6    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_cgrp_name:OK
    torvalds#41/7    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_cgrp_name2:OK
    torvalds#41/8    cgroup1_hierarchy/test_sleepable_prog:OK
    torvalds#41      cgroup1_hierarchy:OK
    Summary: 1/8 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
    $ ls /sys/fs/cgroup | wc -l
    1

To avoid this, run setup_cgroup_environment first which will create an
own mount namespace. This only affects the cgroupv1_hierarchy test as
all other cgroup1 test progs already run setup_cgroup_environment prior
to running setup_classid_environment.

Also add a comment to the header of setup_classid_environment to warn
against this invalid usage in future.
