[PATCH net v3 2/2] selftests/net: test TCP reuseport socket selection
Posted by Menglong Dong 6 months, 1 week ago 
The test script is provided by Kuniyuki in [1], which is used to test the
selection of the TCP reuseport socket problem.

It seems you don't need to handle an exception with ksft.
You can see os.sys.exit(1) triggers another exception when
you run it without patch 1.

btw, I'd write an official uAPI selftest in plain C for socket as
python sometimes does a tricky thing and I don't trust it.

For example, this is...

from socket import *

s = socket()
s.listen(-1)

internally translated to:

socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
listen(3, 0)                            = 0

Yeah, sounds nice, and C has better compatibility and
reliability for the testing.
