mptcp_connect.sh can be executed manually with "-m <MODE>" and "-C" to make sure everything works as expected when using "mmap" and "sendfile" modes instead of "poll", and with the MPTCP checksum support.
These modes should be validated, but they are not when the selftests are executed via the kselftest helpers. It means that most CIs validating these selftests, like NIPA for the net development trees and LKFT for the stable ones, are not covering these modes.
To fix that, new test programs have been added, simply calling mptcp_connect.sh with the right parameters.
The first patch can be backported up to v5.6, and the second one up to v5.14.
Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) matttbe@kernel.org --- Changes in v2: - force using a different prefix in the subtests to avoid having the same test names in all mptcp_connect*.sh selftests. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250714-net-mptcp-sft-connect-alt-v1-0-bf1c5abbe5...
--- Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) (2): selftests: mptcp: connect: also cover alt modes selftests: mptcp: connect: also cover checksum
