Use rand() to generate a random netns name instead of using the fixed
name "mptcp_ns" for every test.
By doing that, we can re-launch the test even if there was an issue
removing the previous netns or if by accident, a netns with this generic
name already existed on the system.
Note that using a different name each will also help adding more
subtests in future commits.
Hi Martin,
I tried to run mptcp tests simultaneously, and got "Cannot create
namespace file "/var/run/netns/mptcp_ns": File exists" errors sometimes.
So I add this patch to fix it.
It's easy to reproduce, just run this commands in multiple terminals:
> for i in `seq 1 100`; do sudo ./test_progs -t mptcp; done
Not only the "-t mptcp" test. Other tests in test_progs also don't support
running parallel in multiple terminals. Does it really help to test the bpf
part of the prog_tests/mptcp.c test by running like this? If it wants to
exercise the other mptcp networking specific code like this, a separate
mptcp test is needed outside of test_progs and it won't be run in the bpf
CI.
If you agree, can you please avoid introducing unnecessary randomness to the
test_progs where bpf CI and most users don't run in this way?
Thanks Martin. Sure, I agree. Let's drop this patch.
Thanks you.
I have a high level question. In LPC 2022
(https://lpc.events/event/16/contributions/1354/), I recall there was idea
in using bpf to make other mptcp decision/policy. Any thought and progress
on this? This set which only uses bpf to change the protocol feels like an
incomplete solution.
We are implementing MPTCP packet scheduler using BPF. Patches aren't
sent to BPF mail list yet, only temporarily on our mptcp repo[1].
Here are the patches:
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_burst test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_burst scheduler
bpf: Export more bpf_burst related functions
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_red test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_red scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_rr test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_rr scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_bkup test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_bkup scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_first test
selftests/bpf: Add bpf_first scheduler
selftests/bpf: Add bpf scheduler test
selftests/bpf: add two mptcp netns helpers
selftests/bpf: use random netns name for mptcp
selftests/bpf: Add mptcp sched structs
bpf: Add bpf_mptcp_sched_kfunc_set
bpf: Add bpf_mptcp_sched_ops
If you could take a look at these patches in advance, I would greatly
appreciate it. Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks for sharing. I did not go into the details. iiuc, the scheduler is
specific to a namespace. Do you see if it is useful to have more finer control
like depending on what IP address it is connected to? BPF policy is usually
found more useful to have finer policy control than global or per-netns.
The same question goes for the fmod_ret here in this patch. The progs/mptcpify.c
selftest is as good as upgrading all TCP connections. Is it your only use case
and no need for finer selection?
