As explained in [1], the forwarding selftests are meant to be run with
either physical loopbacks or veth pairs. The interfaces are expected to
be specified in a user-provided forwarding.config file or as command
line arguments. By default, this file is not present and the tests fail:
# make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net/forwarding run_tests
[...]
TAP version 13
1..102
# timeout set to 45
# selftests: net/forwarding: bridge_igmp.sh
# Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
# Failed to create netif
not ok 1 selftests: net/forwarding: bridge_igmp.sh # exit=1
[...]
Fix by skipping a test if interfaces are not provided either via the
configuration file or command line arguments.
# make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net/forwarding run_tests
[...]
TAP version 13
1..102
# timeout set to 45
# selftests: net/forwarding: bridge_igmp.sh
# SKIP: Cannot create interface. Name not specified
ok 1 selftests: net/forwarding: bridge_igmp.sh # SKIP

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.
