Removing this line breaks our CI validating MPTCP selftests. That's because this "top_srcdir" variable is needed in the "lib.mk" file which is included at the end of this Makefile. But that's maybe a misuse from our side. Indeed to avoid compiling binaries and more from the VM, our CI does that as a preparation job before starting the VM and run MPTCP selftests: $ make O=(...) INSTALL_HDR_PATH=(...)/kselftest/usr headers_install $ make O=(...) -C tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp >From the VM, we re-use the same source directory and we can start individual tests without having to compile anything else: $ cd tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp $ ./mptcp_connect.sh We want to do that because some scripts are launched multiple times with different parameters. With your modifications, we can drop the headers_install instruction but we need to pass new parameters to the last 'make' command: $ make O=(...) top_srcdir=../../../../.. \ KHDR_INCLUDES=-I(...)/usr/include \ -C tools/testing/selftests/net/mptcp Or is there a better way to do that? Can we leave the definition of "top_srcdir" like it was or did we miss something else? > KSFT_KHDR_INSTALL := 1 > > -CFLAGS = -Wall -Wl,--no-as-needed -O2 -g -I$(top_srcdir)/usr/include > +CFLAGS = -Wall -Wl,--no-as-needed -O2 -g $(KHDR_INCLUDES) > > TEST_PROGS := mptcp_connect.sh pm_netlink.sh mptcp_join.sh diag.sh \ > simult_flows.sh mptcp_sockopt.sh Note: I see there is a very long recipients list. If my issue is not directly due to your modifications, we can probably continue the discussion with a restricted audience. Cheers, Matt -- Tessares | Belgium | Hybrid Access Solutions www.tessares.net
