From b1a6a38ab8a633546cefae890da842f19e006c74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Baerts Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2023 18:11:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: mptcp: lib: skip if not below kernel version Selftests are supposed to run on any kernels, including the old ones not supporting all MPTCP features. A new function is now available to easily detect if a feature is missing by looking at the kernel version. That's clearly not ideal and this kind of check should be avoided as soon as possible. But sometimes, there are no external sign that a "feature" is available or not: internal behaviours can change without modifying the uAPI and these selftests are verifying the internal behaviours. Sometimes, the only (easy) way to verify if the feature is present is to run the test but then the validation cannot determine if there is a failure with the feature or if the feature is missing. Then it looks better to check the kernel version instead of having tests that can never fail. In any case, we need a solution not to have a whole selftest being marked as failed just because one sub-test has failed. Note that this env var car be set to 1 not to do such check and run the linked sub-test: SELFTESTS_MPTCP_LIB_NO_KVERSION_CHECK. This new helper is going to be used in the following commits. In order to ease the backport of such future patches, it would be good if this patch is backported up to the introduction of MPTCP selftests, hence the Fixes tag below: this type of check was supposed to be done from the beginning.
