Subject: [Devel] [PATCH vz10 3/3] selftests: bonding: do not build on the namespaces of a killed run
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 02:39:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831234036.1649006-3-eva.kurchatova@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831234036.1649006-1-eva.kurchatova@virtuozzo.com>

lag_setup2x2() creates lag_node1 and lag_node2 and then moves a veth
into each with

  ip link set dev lag1 netns lag_node1 down name eth0

which asks for the move, the state and the rename in one request. The
namespaces are removed by lag_cleanup() from an exit trap, so a run
that is killed instead, by the timeout of the suite for one, leaves
them behind. The next run then finds them: ip netns add fails, the
veth is moved into a namespace that already has an eth0, the rename
fails after the move has been committed, and the kernel says so:

  A link change request failed with some changes committed already.
  Interface lag1 may have been left with an inconsistent configuration,
  please check.

What is left is half a topology, and a bond built on it does not come
back:

  TEST: mode (2) bond recovery                              [FAIL]
  	Bond failed to recover

Only some of the cases fail, which is what makes it look like a timing
problem. With lag_node1 and lag_node2 left over on purpose, one case
of the seven in mode-2-recovery-updelay.sh fails; with them removed
first, three runs of seven pass, and so does
mode-1-recovery-updelay.sh, which uses the same library.
