tc_redirect/tc_redirect_dtime fails intermittently on some systems
with:
(network_helpers.c:303: errno: Operation now in progress) Failed to connect to server
The problem is that on these systems systemd-networkd and systemd-udevd
are installed in the default configuration, which includes:
/usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules
These configs instruct systemd to change MAC addresses of newly created
interfaces, which includes the ones created by BPF selftests. In this
particular case it causes SYN+ACK packets to be dropped, because they
get the PACKET_OTHERHOST type - the fact that this causes a connect()
on a blocking socket to return -EINPROGRESS looks like a bug, which
needs to be investigated separately.
systemd won't change the MAC address if the kernel reports that it was
already set by userspace; the NET_ADDR_SET check in
link_generate_new_hw_addr() is responsible for this.
In order to eliminate the race window between systemd and the test,
set MAC addresses during link creation. Ignore checkpatch's "quoted
string split across lines" warning, since it points to a command line,
and not a user-visible message.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
