Subject: selftests: forwarding: ethtool_extended_state: Skip when using veth pairs
From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b3d9305e60d121dac20a77b6847c4cf14a4c0001 upstream.
Ethtool extended state cannot be tested with veth pairs, resulting in
failures:
# ./ethtool_extended_state.sh
TEST: Autoneg, No partner detected [FAIL]
Expected "Autoneg", got "Link detected: no"
[...]
Fix by skipping the test when used with veth pairs.
