When running BPF selftests on arm64 with a 64K page size, I encountered
the following two test failures:
sockmap_basic/sockmap skb_verdict change tail:FAIL
tc_change_tail:FAIL
With further debugging, I identified the root cause in the following
kernel code within __bpf_skb_change_tail():
u32 max_len = BPF_SKB_MAX_LEN;
u32 min_len = __bpf_skb_min_len(skb);
int ret;
if (unlikely(flags || new_len > max_len || new_len < min_len))
return -EINVAL;
With a 4K page size, new_len = 65535 and max_len = 16064, the function
returns -EINVAL. However, With a 64K page size, max_len increases to
261824, allowing execution to proceed further in the function. This is
because BPF_SKB_MAX_LEN scales with the page size and larger page sizes
result in higher max_len values.
Updating the new_len parameter in both tests from 65535 to 262143 (0x3ffff)
resolves the failures.

nit: this seems to be exercising BPF_SKB_MAX_LEN case. To make it easier to
spot in the future, can we do the following in both tests?
#define PAGE_SIZE 65536 /* make it work on 64K page arches */
#define BPF_SKB_MAX_LEN (PAGE_SIZE << 2)
... = bpf_skb_change_tail(skb, BPF_SKB_MAX_LEN, 0);
Thanks for suggestions, Will do.
