If you say "also" there's a good chance the commit should be split into two..
I am splitting original patch into 2 separate patches. I forgot to do the reply all command on kernel lore. Here is the link to version 2 for the improving the missing modules error message:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240823054833.144612-1-david.hunter.linux@gmail... Subject: [PATCH 1/1 V2] Selftests: net: Improve missing modules error message
Could you clarify how it gets skipped? We use make [...] run_tests in our CI and it does seem to run.
Here is my set up:
$ uname -a
- Linux dshunter-HP-Laptop-15-dy5xxx 6.11.0-rc2+ #2 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Aug 20 14:31:34 EDT 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Steps I took to produce the error: - use git clone to get the mainline source - run make -C tools/testing/selftests - make summary=1 -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net run_tests
Output: # selftests: net: test_ingress_egress_chaining.sh # Warning: file test_ingress_egress_chaining.sh is not executable
After running chmod +x on the shell script. The tests were able to be run.
Thanks, David
