Subject: selftests: net: udpgro_fwd.sh: explicitly checking the available ping feature
From: Jianguo Wu <wujianguo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5e75d0b215b868337e7a193f28a543ec00e858b1 upstream.
As Paolo pointed out, the result of ping IPv6 address depends on
the running distro. So explicitly checking the available ping feature,
as e.g. do the bareudp.sh self-tests.
