Subject: [PATCH v2 net 1/2] selftests: netfilter: fix udpclash tool hang
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 09:25:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904072548.3267-2-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904072548.3267-1-fw@strlen.de>
Yi Chen reports that 'udpclash' loops forever depending on compiler
(and optimization level used); while (x == 1) gets optimized into
for (;;). Add volatile qualifier to avoid that.
While at it, also run it under timeout(1) and fix the resize script
to not ignore the timeout passed as second parameter to insert_flood.
Reported-by: Yi Chen <yiche@redhat.com>

Fixes: 78a588363587 ("selftests: netfilter: add conntrack clash resolution test case")
