Results from Linaro’s test farm. No regressions on arm64, arm and x86_64.
Really? How did you all miss the netfilter bug that was introduced by this series?
Anyway, thanks for testing, but I'm worried...
I took a look through our test suites to see where we may have coverage for this. There is a netns series of tests in LTP [1], but we've had trouble getting them running successfully in the past and so they are being skipped. I don't know if it would have caught this particular issue, but I'll find out, and also see if we can get them working and running again.
We also run the net/ tests in kselftest, but there aren't that many, and of course running kselftest the way we do is not a well supported usecase (running all of 4.17 kselftest against 4.4 kernels, skipping tests that are broken).
So I would ask, how would net/ expect such things to be tested, and what can we do to help?
I don't know. Somehow this was caught when running Android's userspace, which seems to be a great stress test for networking. What about running the Android networking tests on kernels? Those don't need to be run on an android system to work properly last I checked.
They [1] are definitely on our radar of tests to integrate into LKFT.
