selftests: mptcp: drop nanoseconds width specifier

2026-06-19T11:21:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit 01ff78e4b3d98689184c52d97f9575dfbdc3b10f ] Using the format specifier +%s%3N with GNU date is honoured, and only prints 3 digits of the nanoseconds portion of the seconds since epoch, which corresponds to the milliseconds. The uutils implementation of date currently does not honour this, and always prints all 9 digits. This is a known issue [1], but can be worked around by adapting this test to use nanoseconds instead of microseconds, and then divide it by 1e6. This fix is similar to what has been done on systemd side [2], and it is needed to run the selftests on Ubuntu 26.04, containing uutils 0.8.0. Note that the Fixes tag is there even if this patch doesn't fix an issue in the kernel selftests, but it is useful for those using uutils 0.8.0.

selftests: forwarding: lib: Add helpers for checksum handling

2026-06-19T11:21:27+00:00

commit 952e0ee38c7215c45192d8c899acd1830873f28b upstream. In order to generate IGMPv3 and MLDv2 packets on the fly, we will need helpers to calculate the packet checksum. The approach presented in this patch revolves around payload templates for mausezahn. These are mausezahn-like payload strings (01:23:45:...) with possibly one 2-byte sequence replaced with the word PAYLOAD. The main function is payload_template_calc_checksum(), which calculates RFC 1071 checksum of the message. There are further helpers to then convert the checksum to the payload format, and to expand it. For IPv6, MLDv2 message checksum is computed using a pseudoheader that differs from the header used in the payload itself. The fact that the two messages are different means that the checksum needs to be returned as a separate quantity, instead of being expanded in-place in the payload itself. Furthermore, the pseudoheader includes a length of the message. Much like the checksum, this needs to be expanded in mausezahn format. And likewise for number of addresses for (S,G) entries. Thus we have several places where a computed quantity needs to be presented in the payload format. Add a helper u16_to_bytes(), which will be used in all these cases.

selftests: mptcp: more stable simult_flows tests

2026-04-18T08:30:51+00:00

commit 8c09412e584d9bcc0e71d758ec1008d1c8d1a326 upstream. By default, the netem qdisc can keep up to 1000 packets under its belly to deal with the configured rate and delay. The simult flows test-case simulates very low speed links, to avoid problems due to slow CPUs and the TCP stack tend to transmit at a slightly higher rate than the (virtual) link constraints. All the above causes a relatively large amount of packets being enqueued in the netem qdiscs - the longer the transfer, the longer the queue - producing increasingly high TCP RTT samples and consequently increasingly larger receive buffer size due to DRS. When the receive buffer size becomes considerably larger than the needed size, the tests results can flake, i.e. because minimal inaccuracy in the pacing rate can lead to a single subflow usage towards the end of the connection for a considerable amount of data. Address the issue explicitly setting netem limits suitable for the configured link speeds and unflake all the affected tests.

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.
