selftests: forwarding: Allow creation of interfaces without a config file

2018-03-12T02:44:24+00:00

Some users want to be able to run the tests without a configuration file which is useful when one needs to test both virtual and physical interfaces on the same machine. Move the defines that set the type of interface to create and whether to create it away from the optional configuration file to the library like the rest of the defines.

selftests: forwarding: Add suppport to create veth interfaces

2018-03-05T15:44:29+00:00

For tests using veth interfaces, the test infrastructure can create the netdevs if they do not exist. Arguably this is a preferred approach since the tests require p$N and p$(N+1) to be pairs. Signed-off-by: David Ahern Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
