selftests: forwarding: tc_actions: Use ncat instead of nc

2026-03-04T12:19:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5e8670610b93158ffacc3241f835454ff26a3469 ] The test relies on 'nc' being the netcat version from the nmap project. While this seems to be the case on Fedora, it is not the case on Ubuntu, resulting in failures such as [1]. Fix by explicitly using the 'ncat' utility from the nmap project and the skip the test in case it is not installed.

selftests: forwarding: vxlan_bridge_1d: fix test failure with br_netfilter enabled

2026-03-04T12:19:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 02cb2e6bacbb08ebf6acb61be816efd11e1f4a21 ] The test generates VXLAN traffic using mausezahn, where the encapsulated inner IPv4 packet contains a zero IP header checksum. After VXLAN decapsulation, such packets do not pass sanity checks in br_netfilter and are dropped, which causes the test to fail. Fix this by calculating and setting a valid IPv4 header checksum for the encapsulated packet generated by mausezahn, so that the packet is accepted by br_netfilter. Fixed by using the payload_template_calc_checksum() / payload_template_expand_checksum() helpers that are only available in v6.3 and newer kernels.

selftests: forwarding: devlink_lib: Wait for udev events after reloading

2024-08-19T03:40:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit f67a90a0c8f5b3d0acc18f10650d90fec44775f9 ] Lately, an additional locking was added by commit c0a40097f0bc ("drivers: core: synchronize really_probe() and dev_uevent()"). The locking protects dev_uevent() calling. This function is used to send messages from the kernel to user space. Uevent messages notify user space about changes in device states, such as when a device is added, removed, or changed. These messages are used by udev (or other similar user-space tools) to apply device-specific rules. After reloading devlink instance, udev events should be processed. This locking causes a short delay of udev events handling. One example for useful udev rule is renaming ports. 'forwading.config' can be configured to use names after udev rules are applied. Some tests run devlink_reload() and immediately use the updated names. This worked before the above mentioned commit was pushed, but now the delay of uevent messages causes that devlink_reload() returns before udev events are handled and tests fail. Adjust devlink_reload() to not assume that udev events are already processed when devlink reload is done, instead, wait for udev events to ensure they are processed before returning from the function. Without this patch: TESTS='rif_mac_profile' ./resource_scale.sh TEST: 'rif_mac_profile' 4 [ OK ] sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/swp1/disable_ipv6: No such file or directory sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/swp1/disable_ipv6: No such file or directory sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/swp2/disable_ipv6: No such file or directory sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/swp2/disable_ipv6: No such file or directory Cannot find device "swp1" Cannot find device "swp2" TEST: setup_wait_dev (: Interface swp1 does not come up.)

selftests: mirror_gre_changes: Tighten up the TTL test match

2023-08-26T13:26:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 855067defa36b1f9effad8c219d9a85b655cf500 ] This test verifies whether the encapsulated packets have the correct configured TTL. It does so by sending ICMP packets through the test topology and mirroring them to a gretap netdevice. On a busy host however, more than just the test ICMP packets may end up flowing through the topology, get mirrored, and counted. This leads to potential spurious failures as the test observes much more mirrored packets than the sent test packets, and assumes a bug. Fix this by tightening up the mirror action match. Change it from matchall to a flower classifier matching on ICMP packets specifically.

selftests: forwarding: tc_flower: Relax success criterion

2023-08-16T16:21:01+00:00

commit 9ee37e53e7687654b487fc94e82569377272a7a8 upstream. The test checks that filters that match on source or destination MAC were only hit once. A host can send more than one packet with a given source or destination MAC, resulting in failures. Fix by relaxing the success criterion and instead check that the filters were not hit zero times. Using tc_check_at_least_x_packets() is also an option, but it is not available in older kernels.

commit 0529883ad102f6c04e19fb7018f31e1bda575bbe upstream. The default timeout for selftests is 45 seconds, but it is not enough for forwarding selftests which can takes minutes to finish depending on the number of tests cases: # make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net/forwarding run_tests TAP version 13 1..102 # timeout set to 45 # selftests: net/forwarding: bridge_igmp.sh # TEST: IGMPv2 report 239.10.10.10 [ OK ] # TEST: IGMPv2 leave 239.10.10.10 [ OK ] # TEST: IGMPv3 report 239.10.10.10 is_include [ OK ] # TEST: IGMPv3 report 239.10.10.10 include -> allow [ OK ] # not ok 1 selftests: net/forwarding: bridge_igmp.sh # TIMEOUT 45 seconds Fix by switching off the timeout and setting it to 0.
