This series fixes bugs in test_sockmap code. They weren't caught

Also fixed data verification logic and slightly improved test output
such that parameters values (cork, apply, start, end) of failed test
can be easily seen.


Great, this was on my list so thanks for taking care of it.

Note: Even after fixing above problems there are issues with tests
which set cork parameter. Tests fail (RX thread timeout) when cork
value is non-zero and overall data sent by TX thread isn't multiples
of cork value.


This is expected. When 'cork' is set the sender should only xmit
the data when 'cork' bytes are available. If the user doesn't
provide the N bytes the data is cork'ed waiting for the bytes and
if the socket is closed the state is cleaned up. What these tests
are testing is the cleanup path when a user doesn't provide the
N bytes. In practice this is used to validate headers and prevent
users from sending partial headers. We want to keep these tests because
they verify a tear-down path in the code.

Ok.


After your changes do these get reported as failures? If so we
need to account for the above in the calculations.

Yes, cork related test are reported as failures because of RX thread timeout.

So with your above description, I think we need to differentiate cork tests with partial data and full data. In partial data test we can have something like "timeout_expected" flag. Any other way to fix it?
