Subject: [PATCH net-next v10] selftests/net/openvswitch: add SCTP flow key support and test
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:16:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811181645.1918420-1-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).

One listener serves the whole test. socat's fork option handles each
association in a child, so the flow rules are the only thing that
changes between the three phases and the listener is never restarted
underneath them. -t 1 bounds how long a forked child lingers after
its association closes, and the existing kill -TERM of the captured
pid on teardown removes the listener itself.

Also enable CONFIG_IP_SCTP in the selftest kernel config. The config
checker strips underscores before comparing keys, so the entry sorts
before CONFIG_IPV6 rather than after it.

v10:
  - drop the sctp() key probe. OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP is unconditional in
    the kernel datapath (no kconfig gates it in flow_netlink.c), so
    the probe only ever fired for a missing ovs-dpctl.py parse-table
    entry and turned that regression into a skip: the same gap that
    hid the v5 loss. A parse-table regression now fails the test
    instead of skipping it (Jakub)
  - drop setsid. The forked children exit when their association
    closes, socat -t 1 bounds how long they linger, and the existing
    kill -TERM of the captured pid removes the listener itself (Jakub)
  - bound listener child lifetime with socat -t 1 (Jakub)
v9:
  - one forking listener for the whole test instead of restarting it
    between phases (Aaron)
  - signal the daemon's process group on cleanup so the children a
    forking listener leaves behind are reaped
  - sort CONFIG_IP_SCTP the way the config checker compares keys
