selftests/bpf: Fix flaky selftest lwt_redirect/lwt_reroute
[ Upstream commit e7f3187 ] Recently, when running './test_progs -j', I occasionally hit the following errors: test_lwt_redirect:PASS:pthread_create 0 nsec test_lwt_redirect_run:FAIL:netns_create unexpected error: 256 (errno 0) #142/2 lwt_redirect/lwt_redirect_normal_nomac:FAIL #142 lwt_redirect:FAIL test_lwt_reroute:PASS:pthread_create 0 nsec test_lwt_reroute_run:FAIL:netns_create unexpected error: 256 (errno 0) test_lwt_reroute:PASS:pthread_join 0 nsec #143/2 lwt_reroute/lwt_reroute_qdisc_dropped:FAIL #143 lwt_reroute:FAIL The netns_create() definition looks like below: #define NETNS "ns_lwt" static inline int netns_create(void) { return system("ip netns add " NETNS); } One possibility is that both lwt_redirect and lwt_reroute create netns with the same name "ns_lwt" which may cause conflict. I tried the following example: $ sudo ip netns add abc $ echo $? 0 $ sudo ip netns add abc Cannot create namespace file "/var/run/netns/abc": File exists $ echo $? 1 $ The return code for above netns_create() is 256. The internet search suggests that the return value for 'ip netns add ns_lwt' is 1, which matches the above 'sudo ip netns add abc' example. This patch tried to use different netns names for two tests to avoid 'ip netns add <name>' failure. I ran './test_progs -j' 10 times and all succeeded with lwt_redirect/lwt_reroute tests.
