Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 2/2] selftests/net/openvswitch: add SCTP flow key test
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 11:06:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724150624.3457427-3-houminxi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724150624.3457427-1-houminxi@gmail.com>
Add test_sctp_connect_v4() to verify OVS can match on SCTP flow keys
(sctp src/dst port).
The test sets up client and server namespaces connected through an
OVS bridge, installs port-keyed flows, and verifies:
- sctp(dst=4443) matches client-to-server INIT
- sctp(src=4443) matches server-to-client INIT-ACK
- removing flows drops the connection
- reinstalling flows restores connectivity
The listener readiness probe reads /proc/net/sctp/eps instead of ss:
ss requires the sctp_diag interface, which is not enabled on all
kernels, while /proc/net/sctp/eps exists whenever SCTP is loaded.
