selftests: net: do not detect PPPoX loopback

2026-06-06T00:29:40+00:00

By default, pppd attempts to detect loopbacks on the underlying interface using a pseudo-randomly generated magic number and checks if the same value is received. The seed for the PRNG is a hash of hostname XOR current time XOR pid, which is likely to collide on NIPA, causing false positives. Disable magic number generation.

selftests: net: add socat syslog for PPPoL2TP

As done in pppoe.sh, start socat as the syslog listener. In case the test fails, dump its log to see what's going on. Signed-off-by: Qingfang Deng Reviewed-by: Matthieu Baerts Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260529021146.5739-1-qingfang.deng@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
