The mirror_gre_scale test creates as many ERSPAN sessions as the underlying chip supports, and tests that they all work. In order to determine that it issues a stream of ICMP packets and checks if they are mirrored as expected. However, the mausezahn invocation missed the -6 flag to identify the use of IPv6 protocol, and was sending ICMP messages over IPv6, as opposed to ICMP6. It also didn't pass an explicit source IP address, which apparently worked at some point in the past, but does not anymore. To fix these issues, extend the function mirror_test() in mirror_lib by detecting the IPv6 protocol addresses, and using a different ICMP scheme. Fix __mirror_gre_test() in the selftest itself to pass a source IP address. Signed-off-by: Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
