Felix Maurer 1ba28cb692 selftests/bpf: Make test_lwt_ip_encap more stable and faster
[ Upstream commit d23a872032 ]

In test_lwt_ip_encap, the ingress IPv6 encap test failed from time to
time. The failure occured when an IPv4 ping through the IPv6 GRE
encapsulation did not receive a reply within the timeout. The IPv4 ping
and the IPv6 ping in the test used different timeouts (1 sec for IPv4
and 6 sec for IPv6), probably taking into account that IPv6 might need
longer to successfully complete. However, when IPv4 pings (with the
short timeout) are encapsulated into the IPv6 tunnel, the delays of IPv6
apply.

The actual reason for the long delays with IPv6 was that the IPv6
neighbor discovery sometimes did not complete in time. This was caused
by the outgoing interface only having a tentative link local address,
i.e., not having completed DAD for that lladdr. The ND was successfully
retried after 1 sec but that was too late for the ping timeout.

The IPv6 addresses for the test were already added with nodad. However,
for the lladdrs, DAD was still performed. We now disable DAD in the test
netns completely and just assume that the two lladdrs on each veth pair
do not collide. This removes all the delays for IPv6 traffic in the
test.

Without the delays, we can now also reduce the delay of the IPv6 ping to
1 sec. This makes the whole test complete faster because we don't need
to wait for the excessive timeout for each IPv6 ping that is supposed
to fail.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
