But on some operating systems like Ubuntu, /bin/sh is actually pointed to DASH, thus it will try to run BASH commands with DASH and consequently leads to syntax issues: # ./bareudp.sh: 4: ./lib.sh: Bad substitution # ./bareudp.sh: 5: ./lib.sh: source: not found # ./bareudp.sh: 24: ./lib.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Fix this by explicitly using BASH for bareudp.sh. This fixes test execution failures on systems where /bin/sh is not BASH.

Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin ``` #### 3. **Impact Scope** - Bareudp.sh is the **only** script sourcing lib.sh with `#!/bin/sh` (all others use `#!/bin/bash`) - Out of ~109 net selftests, 97 use bash, only 12 use sh - This fix ensures consistency across the selftest infrastructure #### 4. **Why This Should Be Backported** **符合 Stable Tree 标准:** - ✅ **Fixes a real bug**: Test execution failures on Ubuntu/Debian systems where /bin/sh → DASH - ✅ **Obviously correct**: One-line change, zero risk - ✅ **Small and contained**: Single line modification - ✅ **No side effects**: Only affects test execution, not kernel runtime - ✅ **Improves test infrastructure**: Allows CI/CD systems to properly validate stable kernels **Practical Benefits:** - Enables proper testing of the bareudp driver on stable kernels - Fixes false negatives in test results on Debian-based distributions - Zero risk of kernel regression (test-only change) - Already proven safe by existing backport #### 5. **Why Semantic Tools Not Used** The semantic code analysis tools (mcp__semcode__*) are designed for C code analysis. This commit modifies a shell script in the testing infrastructure, not kernel C code. The analysis was conducted using: - Direct file inspection (Read tool) - Git history analysis (Bash/git commands) - Pattern matching across test scripts ### Conclusion This commit **should definitively be backported** to stable kernel trees. The fact that it has already been successfully backported by the stable kernel maintainer (Sasha Levin) to linux-autosel-6.17 provides strong empirical evidence of its suitability for stable backporting. tools/testing/selftests/net/bareudp.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/net/bareudp.sh b/tools/testing/selftests/net/bareudp.sh index 4046131e78882..d9e5b967f8151 100755 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/net/bareudp.sh +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/net/bareudp.sh @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -#!/bin/sh +#!/bin/bash # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 # Test various bareudp tunnel configurations. -- 2.51.0
