Petr Machata says: ==================== Fixes for running mirror-to-gretap tests on veth The forwarding selftests infrastructure makes it possible to run the individual tests on a purely software netdevices. Names of interfaces to run the test with can be passed as command line arguments to a test. lib.sh then creates veth pairs backing the interfaces if none exist in the system. However, the tests need to recognize that they might be run on a soft device. Many mirror-to-gretap tests are buggy in this regard. This patch set aims to fix the problems in running mirror-to-gretap tests on veth devices. In patch #1, a service function is split out of setup_wait(). In patch #2, installing a trap is made optional. In patch #3, tc filters in several tests are tweaked to work with veth. In patch #4, the logic for waiting for neighbor is fixed for veth. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
