selftests: forwarding: tc_actions: Use ncat instead of nc

2026-03-04T12:19:47Z

[ Upstream commit 5e8670610b93158ffacc3241f835454ff26a3469 ] The test relies on 'nc' being the netcat version from the nmap project. While this seems to be the case on Fedora, it is not the case on Ubuntu, resulting in failures such as [1]. Fix by explicitly using the 'ncat' utility from the nmap project and the skip the test in case it is not installed.

selftests: forwarding: tc_actions: cleanup temporary files when test is aborted

selftests: forwarding: vxlan_bridge_1d: fix test failure with br_netfilter enabled

2026-03-04T12:19:46Z

[ Upstream commit 02cb2e6bacbb08ebf6acb61be816efd11e1f4a21 ] The test generates VXLAN traffic using mausezahn, where the encapsulated inner IPv4 packet contains a zero IP header checksum. After VXLAN decapsulation, such packets do not pass sanity checks in br_netfilter and are dropped, which causes the test to fail. Fix this by calculating and setting a valid IPv4 header checksum for the encapsulated packet generated by mausezahn, so that the packet is accepted by br_netfilter. Fixed by using the payload_template_calc_checksum() / payload_template_expand_checksum() helpers that are only available in v6.3 and newer kernels.

selftests: mptcp: pm: ensure unknown flags are ignored

2026-02-19T15:20:26Z

commit 29f4801e9c8dfd12bdcb33b61a6ac479c7162bd7 upstream. This validates the previous commit: the userspace can set unknown flags -- the 7th bit is currently unused -- without errors, but only the supported ones are printed in the endpoints dumps. The 'Fixes' tag here below is the same as the one from the previous commit: this patch here is not fixing anything wrong in the selftests, but it validates the previous fix for an issue introduced by this commit ID.

selftests/net: Ensure assert() triggers in psock_tpacket.c

2025-12-06T21:08:10Z

[ Upstream commit bc4c0a48bdad7f225740b8e750fdc1da6d85e1eb ] The get_next_frame() function in psock_tpacket.c was missing a return statement in its default switch case, leading to a compiler warning. This was caused by a `bug_on(1)` call, which is defined as an `assert()`, being compiled out because NDEBUG is defined during the build. Instead of adding a `return NULL;` which would silently hide the error and could lead to crashes later, this change restores the original author's intent. By adding `#undef NDEBUG` before including , we ensure the assertion is active and will cause the test to abort if this unreachable code is ever executed.

selftests/net: Replace non-standard __WORDSIZE with sizeof(long) * 8

2025-12-06T21:08:10Z

[ Upstream commit c36748e8733ef9c5f4cd1d7c4327994e5b88b8df ] The `__WORDSIZE` macro, defined in the non-standard `` header, is a GNU extension and not universally available with all toolchains, such as Clang when used with musl libc. This can lead to build failures in environments where this header is missing. The intention of the code is to determine the bit width of a C `long`. Replace the non-portable `__WORDSIZE` with the standard and portable `sizeof(long) * 8` expression to achieve the same result. This change also removes the inclusion of the now-unused `` header.
