Subject: [PATCH net-next v8] selftests/net/openvswitch: add SCTP flow key support and test
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 02:26:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731062655.4088575-1-houminxi@gmail.com> (raw)
The ovskey flow-string parser has no OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP entry, so a
flow string containing sctp(src=.../dst=...) parses without error but
silently drops the L4 key. The resulting flow carries only
ipv4(proto=132), and the kernel rejects it: match_validate() in
flow_netlink.c requires OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP when the IP protocol is
IPPROTO_SCTP and returns -EINVAL for the missing key.
Register OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP in the parse table and add a matching
selftest that verifies SCTP flow key matching (sctp src/dst port).
Also enable CONFIG_IP_SCTP in the selftest kernel config.

Changes from v7:
- Drop all unit tests per Ilya's feedback (tests for test code
feels excessive); merge patches back into one.
- Enable CONFIG_IP_SCTP in the selftest kernel config.
- Rebase onto latest net-next; add base-commit header.
