I should have split the argument error paths and root check anyway. However, what is strange is if the test run by root, bind() doesn't fail. This doesn't make sense to me based on what you said about bind() fails if kernel doesn't support the new feature. That sounds like a problem if the test can be run by non-root user and it should fail if kernel doesn't have the feature included. I would think the bind() should fail for root and non-root users. The bind() failure should be skip if it is an indication of feature not being supported on the kernel. thanks, -- Shuah

Sorry I am unable to follow this explanation. This test has just been added in commit 73a29531f45fed6423144057d7a844aae46dad9d Can you please look at the usage for this test: - What should happen when kernel without filtering is run as root or non-root - What should happen when kernel with filtering is run as root or non-root There seems to be difference in behavior of this test depending on user privileges. This should reflect in the message the user sees. This message "bind failed: Operation not permitted" doesn't tell user anything - add a better message. Also this needs to be a skip and not fail. I just sent v2 without the root check. thanks, -- Shuah

So it is adding a selftest to kernels previous to this commit. That is, the connector module in kernel (before my changes) was sending to a listener user process messages for all process events - fork, exit, exec etc. This was only being done if the user process was run as root. With my changes, we add filtering based on an option added by user, which filters based on input and gives back to the user only fork, or only exit, or a combination of those. This is a new feature added. In addition to this filtering, we have also made the change to allow user process to be non-root when receiving these messages. > > Can you please look at the usage for this test: > > - What should happen when kernel without filtering is run as > root or non-root By kernel without filtering you mean a kernel without my patches? In that case, it should run only as root - non-root should fail. In this case, it falls back to default behavior before my change, where listener user process gets all messages related to process events.

It has to be clear to the user why the test is exiting without running. So this is what is needed: - Check if the test can be run as non-root (whatever that means) - It is still not clear to me if bind() fails does that mean the kernel doesn't doesn't support the new feature. Since this test essentially behaves differently when the feature is supported vs. not. So it has to behave consistently somehow checking for the feature and report correctly. thanks, -- Shuah

It means you need to be root to run the program - this is the expected behavior on kernels which do not have my change(to allow non-root access). So, today if you wrote a program to test basic connector code without filtering(without my changes) - this is how it would respond. This is a check in the kernel(without my changes) which makes bind fail if user is non-root. With my change this change has been effectively removed.

When the feature is supported, we allow non-root access, which is part of what the feature added. If not supported (older kernel) then only root access allowed.
