I built the kernel this morning and sorry to spoil the party, but I've run into a problem with lksctp-tools when running the func_tests: make v6test .. .. ./test_timetolive_v6 test_timetolive.c 0 INFO : Creating fillmsg of size 3087 test_timetolive.c 1 PASS : Send a message with timeout test_timetolive.c 2 PASS : Send a message with no timeout test_timetolive.c 3 PASS : Send a fragmented message with timeout test_timetolive.c 0 INFO : ** SLEEPING for 3 seconds ** test_timetolive.c 4 BROK : Got a datamsg of unexpected length:23, expected length:27 DUMP_CORE sctputil.c: 247 /bin/sh: line 1: 30981 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./$a test_timetolive_v6 fails make v4 test fails the same way. I'm using lksctp-tools from [1]. I have not investigated the cause yet as just found this and thought I should flag first just in case someone has the answer !!! On the bright side, I've run the sctp-tests from [2] with no problems and also the selinux-testsuite with my SCTP patch from [3] using an updated Fedora policy from [4] (with sctp support added), all in enforcing mode. Also the LTP test passed: cd /opt/ltp/ cat runtest/syscalls |grep connect01>runtest/connect-syscall ./runltp -pq -f connect-syscall ....
