From 29f4801e9c8dfd12bdcb33b61a6ac479c7162bd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" matttbe@kernel.org Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 19:55:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: mptcp: pm: ensure unknown flags are ignored
This validates the previous commit: the userspace can set unknown flags -- the 7th bit is currently unused -- without errors, but only the supported ones are printed in the endpoints dumps.
The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests, but it validates the previous fix for an issue introduced by this commit ID.
