There is also a gotcha here: you do not delete all veths:

These tests can be run with veth pairs or with loop backed physical ports. We can't delete the latter and I don't see a clean way to delete the veth pairs.
The following patch [1] changes the default to not create interfaces so that by default these tests will be skipped [2]. Those who care about running the tests can create a forwarding.config file (using forwarding.config.sample as an example) and either create the veth pairs themselves or opt-in for the interfaces to be created automatically (setting NETIF_CREATE=yes), but not deleted.

Hi, Ido,
Please would you consider making a formal patch, so the vanilla 'make kselftest' run would have some sensible defaults?
I am really interested in the network stack working right, though I really do not have much opportunities testing like high speed links and bonded eth adapters :-(
Maybe that'll come :-/
Kind regards, Mirsad
