The expression "source ../lib.sh" added to net/forwarding/lib.sh in commit25ae948b44("selftests/net: add lib.sh") does not work for tests outside net/forwarding which source net/forwarding/lib.sh (1). It also does not work in some cases where only a subset of tests are exported (2). Avoid the problems mentioned above by replacing the faulty expression with a copy of the content from net/lib.sh which is used by files under net/forwarding. A more thorough solution which avoids duplicating content between net/lib.sh and net/forwarding/lib.sh has been posted here: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20231222135836.992841-1-bpoirier@nvidia.com/ The approach in the current patch is a stopgap solution to avoid submitting large changes at the eleventh hour of this development cycle. Example of problem 1) tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/bonding$ ./dev_addr_lists.sh ./net_forwarding_lib.sh: line 41: ../lib.sh: No such file or directory TEST: bonding cleanup mode active-backup [ OK ] TEST: bonding cleanup mode 802.3ad [ OK ] TEST: bonding LACPDU multicast address to slave (from bond down) [ OK ] TEST: bonding LACPDU multicast address to slave (from bond up) [ OK ] An error message is printed but since the test does not use functions from net/lib.sh, the test results are not affected. Example of problem 2) tools/testing/selftests$ make install TARGETS="net/forwarding" tools/testing/selftests$ cd kselftest_install/net/forwarding/ tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install/net/forwarding$ ./pedit_ip.sh veth{0..3} lib.sh: line 41: ../lib.sh: No such file or directory TEST: ping [ OK ] TEST: ping6 [ OK ] ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth1 ingress pedit ip src set 198.51.100.1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth2 egress pedit ip src set 198.51.100.1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth1 ingress pedit ip dst set 198.51.100.1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth2 egress pedit ip dst set 198.51.100.1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth1 ingress pedit ip6 src set 2001:db8:2::1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth2 egress pedit ip6 src set 2001:db8:2::1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth1 ingress pedit ip6 dst set 2001:db8:2::1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . ./pedit_ip.sh: line 135: busywait: command not found TEST: dev veth2 egress pedit ip6 dst set 2001:db8:2::1 [FAIL] Expected to get 10 packets, but got . In this case, the test results are affected.

Motivation
==========
One of the nice things about network namespaces is that they allow one
to easily create and test complex environments.
Unfortunately, these namespaces can not be used with actual switching
ASICs, as their ports can not be migrated to other network namespaces
(NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL) and most of them probably do not support the
L1-separation provided by namespaces.
However, a similar kind of flexibility can be achieved by using VRFs and
by looping the switch ports together. For example:
br0
+
vrf-h1 | vrf-h2
+ +---+----+ +
| | | |
192.0.2.1/24 + + + + 192.0.2.2/24
swp1 swp2 swp3 swp4
+ + + +
| | | |
+--------+ +--------+
The VRFs act as lightweight namespaces representing hosts connected to
the switch.
This approach for testing switch ASICs has several advantages over the
traditional method that requires multiple physical machines, to name a
few:
1. Only the device under test (DUT) is being tested without noise from
other system.
2. Ability to easily provision complex topologies. Testing bridging
between 4-ports LAGs or 8-way ECMP requires many physical links that are
not always available. With the VRF-based approach one merely needs to
loopback more ports.
These tests are written with switch ASICs in mind, but they can be run
on any Linux box using veth pairs to emulate physical loopbacks.
Guidelines for Writing Tests
============================
o Where possible, reuse an existing topology for different tests instead
of recreating the same topology.
o Tests that use anything but the most trivial topologies should include
an ASCII art showing the topology.
o Where possible, IPv6 and IPv4 addresses shall conform to RFC 3849 and
RFC 5737, respectively.
o Where possible, tests shall be written so that they can be reused by
multiple topologies and added to lib.sh.
o Checks shall be added to lib.sh for any external dependencies.
o Code shall be checked using ShellCheck [1] prior to submission.
