Sorry, technically, it's not broken, it just doesn't test much (CHECK
conditions confused me, I didn't realize you allow zero initially). We
will never consume anything and the result will be zero, which isn't
very meaningful.
"Interesting" test would set up things so that we have >1 item in
ringbuf and we consume exactly one at a time, because that's the new
logic you added.
I think it will be simpler to add a dedicated and simpler ringbuf test
for this, where you can specify how many items to submit, and then do
a bunch of consume/consume_n invocations, checking exact results.
Plus, please don't add new CHECK() uses, use ASSERT_XXX() ones instead.
I've applied first three patches because they look correct and it's
good to setup libbpf 1.5 dev cycle, but please do follow up with a
better test. Thanks.
