Hi All,
I am trying to understand test_gso test for IPv4 and IPv6 with following piece of code
# listen on IPv*_DST, capture TCP into $TMPFILE if [ "${PROTO}" == "IPv4" ] ; then IP_DST=${IPv4_DST} ip netns exec ${NS3} bash -c \ "nc -4 -l -s ${IPv4_DST} -p 9000 > ${TMPFILE} &" elif [ "${PROTO}" == "IPv6" ] ; then IP_DST=${IPv6_DST} ip netns exec ${NS3} bash -c \ "nc -6 -l -s ${IPv6_DST} -p 9000 > ${TMPFILE} &" RET=$? else echo " test_gso: unknown PROTO: ${PROTO}" fi
I have couple of queries around it
a) why -l is being used for reading listen on IPv*_DST with -s option. I was looking at https://www.computerhope.com/unix/nc.htm, following has been mentioned: -l : Used to specify that nc should listen for an incoming connection rather than initiate a connection to a remote host. It is an error to use this option in conjunction with the -p, -s, or -z options. Additionally, any timeouts specified with the -w option are ignored.
b) Even if there is requirement of -l option to use. can we provide timeout option also. how? as -w dont work with -l.
I am facing an issue with Linux-5.3 Kselftest where even if test_lwt_ip_encap.sh "exit", bpf/runner.sh is not running next test case. It just wait until CRTL + c is pressed. If I comment above code things work fine.
Please sugggest
