hi, man ip, the output about exit value is like following. "Exit status is 0 if command was successful, and 1 if there is a syntax error. If an error was reported by the kernel exit status is 2." Did the following COMMAND have syntax error? If not, should I still change the expected rc from 2 to 1? ####################################################### HINT: Fails since VRF device does not support linklocal or multicast COMMAND: ip netns exec ns-A /bin/ping6 -c1 -w1 fe80::7c4c:bcff:fe66:a63a%red ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable PING fe80::7c4c:bcff:fe66:a63a%red(fe80::7c4c:bcff:fe66:a63a%red) 56 data bytes --- fe80::7c4c:bcff:fe66:a63a%red ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms TEST: ping out, VRF bind - ns-B IPv6 LLA [FAIL] ####################################################### HINT: Fails since VRF device does not support linklocal or multicast COMMAND: ip netns exec ns-A /bin/ping6 -c1 -w1 ff02::1%red ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable PING ff02::1%red(ff02::1%red) 56 data bytes --- ff02::1%red ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms TEST: ping out, VRF bind - multicast IP [FAIL] ####################################################### best regards, ________________________________________ From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 8, 2021 11:20 AM To: Jakub Kicinski; lizhijian@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Zhou, Jie2X; davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; shuah@xxxxxxxxxx; netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kselftest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Li, Philip; lkp; Ma, XinjianX; Li, ZhijianX Subject: Re: selftests/net/fcnal-test.sh: ipv6_ping test failed On 12/7/21 8:58 AM, Jakub Kicinski wrote: > Adding David and Zhijian. > > On Tue, 7 Dec 2021 07:07:40 +0000 Zhou, Jie2X wrote: >> hi, >> >> I test ipv6_ping by "./fcnal-test.sh -v -t ipv6_ping". >> There are two tests failed. >> >> TEST: ping out, VRF bind - ns-B IPv6 LLA [FAIL] >> TEST: ping out, VRF bind - multicast IP [FAIL] >> >> While in fcnal-test.sh the expected command result is 2, the result is 1, so the test failed. >> ipv6_ping_vrf() >> { >> ...... >> for a in ${NSB_LINKIP6}%${VRF} ${MCAST}%${VRF} >> do >> log_start >> show_hint "Fails since VRF device does not support linklocal or multicast" >> run_cmd ${ping6} -c1 -w1 ${a} >> log_test_addr ${a} $? 2 "ping out, VRF bind" >> done >> >> The ipv6_ping test output is attached. >> Did I set something wrong result that these tests failed? >> >> best regards, ping6 is failing as it should. Can you send a patch to change the expected rc from 2 to 1?
