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/mm/charge_reserved_hugetlb: drop mount size for hugetlbfs

2026-03-04T12:20:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1aa1dd9cc595917882fb6db67725442956f79607 ] charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh mounts a hugetlbfs instance at /mnt/huge with a fixed size of 256M. On systems with large base hugepages (e.g. 512MB), this is smaller than a single hugepage, so the hugetlbfs mount ends up with zero capacity (often visible as size=0 in mount output). As a result, write_to_hugetlbfs fails with ENOMEM and the test can hang waiting for progress. === Error log === # uname -r 6.12.0-xxx.el10.aarch64+64k #./charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh -cgroup-v2 # ----------------------------------------- ... # nr hugepages = 10 # writing cgroup limit: 5368709120 # writing reseravation limit: 5368709120 ... # write_to_hugetlbfs: Error mapping the file: Cannot allocate memory # Waiting for hugetlb memory reservation to reach size 2684354560. # 0 # Waiting for hugetlb memory reservation to reach size 2684354560. # 0 ... # mount |grep /mnt/huge none on /mnt/huge type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,pagesize=512M,size=0) # grep -i huge /proc/meminfo ...

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: mlxsw: tc_restrictions: Fix test failure with new iproute2

[ Upstream commit a2646773a005b59fd1dc7ff3ba15df84889ca5d2 ] As explained in [1], iproute2 started rejecting tc-police burst sizes that result in an overflow. This can happen when the burst size is high enough and the rate is low enough. A couple of test cases specify such configurations, resulting in iproute2 errors and test failure. Fix by reducing the burst size so that the test will pass with both new and old iproute2 versions.

selftests: mptcp: pm: ensure unknown flags are ignored
