Thank you for adding this support! I'm looking forward to seeing more
packetdrill tests being validated by the CI, and I hope that will
encourage people to add more tests, and increase the code coverage!


I have some questions about how the packetdrill should be executed:
should they be isolated in dedicated netns?

There are some other comments, but feel free to ignore them if they are
not relevant, or if they can be fixed later.

Please note that this will not run the packetdrill tests in a dedicated
netns. I don't think that's a good idea. Especially when sysctl knobs
are being changed during the tests, and more.

I see that ./run_kselftest.sh can be executed with the "-n | --netns"
option to run each test in a dedicated net namespace, but it doesn't
seem to work:

But maybe it would be better to create the netns in ksft_runner.sh?
Please see below.

(when applying your patches with 'b4 shazam', I got the following error,
I guess it was due to this blank line at the end)

  Applying: selftests: support interpreted scripts with ksft_runner.sh

  .git/rebase-apply/patch:142: new blank line at EOF.

(nit: that's a strange Bash array with spaces in the strings :)
You can simply remove the quotes, then below, you can use the variable
with double quotes: "${ipv4_args[@]}" and shellcheck will stop reporting
an error for that)

(Why muting stdout? I see that the TCP MD5 test output lines from
/proc/net/tcp*, is it why? Is this info useful? Or should it be removed
from the test?)

Even if "run_kselftest.sh" creates dedicated netns before running this
script (RUN_IN_NETNS=1), it looks like the tests in v4 and in v6 will
share the same netns. Is it OK? It means that if a packetdrill test sets
something that is not reset by 'defaults.sh', it might break the
following v6 test.

Why not having "ksft_runner.sh" creating the netns? It should be easy to
do so, using helpers from the "../lib.sh" file:

  ns_v4=
  ns_v6=

  trap cleanup_all_ns EXIT
  if ! setup_ns ns_v4 ns_v6; then
      (...) # fail + exit
  fi

  ip netns exec "${ns_v4}" packetdrill "${ipv4_args[@]}" \
                                       "$(basename "${script}")"
  (...)


(Note that if these tests are isolated in dedicated netns, and if later
we want to accelerate their execution, it should be easy to run these
two tests in parallel, something like the following)

  ip netns exec "${ns_v4}" (...) &
  pid_v4=$!
  ip netns exec "${ns_v6}" (...) &
  pid_v6=$!

  wait ${pid_v4} && tap_test_pass "ipv4" || ktap_test_fail "ipv4"
  wait ${pid_v6} && tap_test_pass "ipv6" || ktap_test_fail "ipv6"

(I guess you prefer not to modify these tests, and keep them
self-contained, but just in case it is easier for you, this line could
be removed, and have ksft_runner.sh sourcing this file before executing
the packetdrill test.)
