linux.git/tools/testing/selftests/filesystems/xattr, branch master Linux kernel source tree selftests/xattr: test xattrs on various socket families 2026-03-02T10:06:43+00:00 Christian Brauner brauner@kernel.org 2026-02-16T13:32:10+00:00 0f1f4e4e1503e605f2189bfa10290d7b8920187c Test user.* xattr operations on sockets from different address families: AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, and AF_PACKET. All socket types use sockfs for their inodes, so user.* xattrs should work regardless of address family. Each fixture creates a socket (no bind needed) and verifies the full fsetxattr/fgetxattr/flistxattr/fremovexattr cycle. AF_INET6 skips if not supported; AF_PACKET skips if CAP_NET_RAW is unavailable. Also tests abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets, which live in sockfs (not on a filesystem) and should support user.* xattrs.

Test user.* xattr operations on sockets from different address families:
AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, and AF_PACKET. All socket types use
sockfs for their inodes, so user.* xattrs should work regardless of
address family.

Each fixture creates a socket (no bind needed) and verifies the full
fsetxattr/fgetxattr/flistxattr/fremovexattr cycle. AF_INET6 skips if
not supported; AF_PACKET skips if CAP_NET_RAW is unavailable.

Also tests abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets, which live in sockfs
(not on a filesystem) and should support user.* xattrs.

Sockets created via socket() have their inodes in sockfs, which now supports user.* xattrs with per-inode limits. Tests fsetxattr/fgetxattr/flistxattr/fremovexattr operations including set/get, listing (verifies system.sockprotoname presence), remove, update, XATTR_CREATE/XATTR_REPLACE flags, empty values, size queries, and buffer-too-small errors. Also tests per-inode limit enforcement: maximum 128 xattrs, maximum 128KB total value size, limit recovery after removal, and independent limits across different sockets.
