Not true, it reveals that I forgot to put it in the patch, that's all. As I cannot run several of these tests because of memory constraints I link the file to a copy in a rw area where I modify the list and just run one of the subtests at a time. If I try to run the whole it always fails after a couple of sub-tests with an error.
It seems to me that these scripts are quite memory consuming as they accumulate memory consuption in relation to what is loaded along the way. A major problem with my system.
I'm sorry for perhaps asking something entirely obvious, but have you tried:
kernel-dir $ rsync -avr tools/testing/selftests/ root@$board:selftests/ board $ cd selftests/drivers/net/dsa/ board $ ./bridge_locked_port.sh lan0 lan1 lan2 lan3
?
This is how I always run them, and it worked fine with both Debian (where it's easy to add missing packages to the rootfs) or with a more embedded-oriented Buildroot.
The memory problems are of course on the embedded target. In that case I think it would be a very good idea to do something to design the system better, so that it frees memory between the subtests.
If all tests are always run on the bridge only, I think they don't make much sense as these patchsets are directed towards switchcores.
