[PATCH net-next mlxsw 0/3] selftests: forwarding: Updates to sysctl handling

[Petr Machata]

Some selftests need to adjust sysctl settings. In order to be neutral to
the system that the test is run on, it is a good practice to change back
to the original setting after the test ends. That involves some
boilerplate that can be abstracted away.

In patch #1, introduce two functions, sysctl_set() and sysctl_restore().
The former stores the current value of a given setting, and sets a new
value. The latter restores the setting to the previously-stored value.

In patch #2, use these wrappers in a number of tests.

Additionally in patch #3, fix a problem in mirror_gre_nh.sh, which
neglected to set a sysctl that's crucial for the test to work.

Petr Machata (3):
  selftests: forwarding: lib: Add sysctl_set(), sysctl_restore()
  selftests: forwarding: Use sysctl_set(), sysctl_restore()
  selftests: forwarding: mirror_gre_nh: Unset RP filter

[PATCH net-next mlxsw 1/3] selftests: forwarding: lib: Add sysctl_set(), sysctl_restore()

[Petr Machata]

Add two helper functions: sysctl_set() to change the value of a given
sysctl setting, and sysctl_restore() to change it back to what it was.

[PATCH net-next mlxsw 2/3] selftests: forwarding: Use sysctl_set(), sysctl_restore()

[Petr Machata]

Instead of hand-managing the sysctl set and restore, use the wrappers
sysctl_set() and sysctl_restore() to do the bookkeeping automatically.

[PATCH net-next mlxsw 3/3] selftests: forwarding: mirror_gre_nh: Unset RP filter

[Petr Machata]

The test fails to work if reverse-path filtering is in effect on the
mirrored-to host interface, or for all interfaces.

Luckily that errant 'mlxsw' hides inside of [] so git will get rid of
it :-)

Series applied, thanks.
