[ Upstream commit 7965a7f32a53d9ad807ce2c53bdda69ba104974f ]

When deleting netns, it is possible to still have some tasks running,
e.g. background tasks like tcpdump running in the background, not
stopped because the test has been interrupted.

Before deleting the netns, it is then safer to kill all attached PIDs,
if any. That should reduce some noises after the end of some tests, and
help with the debugging of some issues. That's why this modification is
seen as a "fix".

Without this, the 'i' variable declared before could be overridden by
accident, e.g.

  for i in "${@}"; do
      __ksft_status_merge "${i}"  ## 'i' has been modified
      foo "${i}"                  ## using 'i' with an unexpected value
  done

After a quick look, it looks like 'i' is currently not used after having
been modified in __ksft_status_merge(), but still, better be safe than
sorry. I saw this while modifying the same file, not because I suspected
an issue somewhere.

If there is an error to create the first netns with 'setup_ns()',
'cleanup_ns()' will be called with an empty string as first parameter.

The consequences is that 'cleanup_ns()' will try to delete an invalid
netns, and wait 20 seconds if the netns list is empty.

Instead of just checking if the name is not empty, convert the string
separated by spaces to an array. Manipulating the array is cleaner, and
calling 'cleanup_ns()' with an empty array will be a no-op.

If errexit is enabled ('set -e'), loopy_wait -- or busywait and others
using it -- will stop after the first failure.

Note that if the returned status of loopy_wait is checked, and even if
errexit is enabled, Bash will not stop at the first error.

<title>selftests/net: use tc rule to filter the na packet</title>

Test arp_ndisc_untracked_subnets use tcpdump to filter the unsolicited
and untracked na messages. It set -e before calling tcpdump. But if
tcpdump filters 0 packet, it will return none zero, and cause the script
to exit.

Instead of using slow tcpdump to capture packets, let's using tc rule
to filter out the na message.

At the same time, fix function setup_v6 which only needs one parameter.
Move all the related helpers from forwarding lib.sh to net lib.sh.

Bodies of busywait() and slowwait() functions are almost identical. Extract
the common code into a helper, loopy_wait, and convert busywait() and
slowwait() into trivial wrappers.

Moreover, the fact that slowwait() uses seconds for units is really not
intuitive, and the comment does not help much. Instead make the unit part
of the name of the argument to further clarify what units are expected.

<title>selftests: forwarding: Convert log_test() to recognize RET values</title>

<id>a923af1ceee744c187d1c08a0d7dc9e8ab7ca482</id>
<content type='text'>
In a previous patch, the interpretation of RET value was changed to mean
the kselftest framework constant with the test outcome: $ksft_pass,
$ksft_xfail, etc.

Update log_test() to recognize the various possible RET values.

Then have EXIT_STATUS track the RET value of the current test. This differs
subtly from the way RET tracks the value: while for RET we want to
recognize XFAIL as a separate status, for purposes of exit code, we want to
to conflate XFAIL and PASS, because they both communicate non-failure. Thus
add a new helper, ksft_exit_status_merge().

With this log_test_skip() and log_test_xfail() can be reexpressed as thin
wrappers around log_test.

The variable RET keeps track of whether the test under execution has so far
failed or not. Currently it works in binary fashion: zero means everything
is fine, non-zero means something failed. log_test() then uses the value to
given a human-readable message.

In order to allow log_test() to report skips and xfails, the semantics of
RET need to be more fine-grained. Therefore have RET value be one of
kselftest framework constants: $ksft_fail, $ksft_xfail, etc.

The current logic in check_err() is such that first non-zero value of RET
trumps all those that follow. But that is not right when RET has more
fine-grained value semantics. Different outcomes have different weights.

The results of PASS and XFAIL are mostly the same: they both communicate a
test that did not go wrong. SKIP communicates lack of tooling, which the
user should go and try to fix, and as such should not be overridden by the
passes. So far, the higher-numbered statuses can be considered weightier.
But FAIL should be the weightiest.

Add a helper, ksft_status_merge(), which merges two statuses in a way that
respects the above conditions. Express it in a generic manner, because exit
status merge is subtly different, and we want to reuse the same logic.

Use the new helper when setting RET in check_err().

Re-express check_fail() in terms of check_err() to avoid duplication.
