I suggest avoiding this, it could end up killing innocent alias netns. You could consider using the 'setup_ns' helper from the tools/testing/selftests/net/lib.sh library to always generate unique netns names. > Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole <aconole@redhat.com> > --- > tools/testing/selftests/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.sh | 4 ++++ > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.sh b/tools/testing/selftests/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.sh > index 678a72ad47c1..8dc315585710 100755 > --- a/tools/testing/selftests/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.sh > +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.sh > @@ -115,6 +115,10 @@ ovs_netns_spawn_daemon() { > > ovs_add_netns_and_veths () { > info "Adding netns attached: sbx:$1 dp:$2 {$3, $4, $5}" > + ntns_e=`ip netns list | grep $3` > + [ "$ntns_e" != "" ] && ip netns del "$3" > + if4_e=`ip link show $4 2>/dev/null` Minor unrelated note: $() is preferable to `` for sub-shells, as it's more friendly to nesting, string expansing, quotes, etc. Cheers, Paolo

I thought it should work - but at least what I observed is that when the vng spawned VM was running the tests, it would TERM portions of the subshell, but not the running openvswitch.sh script. That left these namespaces and interfaces lingering. >> This happens when the selftest >> timeout gets exceeded, while running under very slow debugging conditions. > > 'timeout' should send SIG_TERM, and the script already handle that > gracefully? At least, I didn't observe that to be the case when it got terminated. I'll remove the timeout setting and try to reproduce it. >> The solution here is to cleanup the netns on executing the next test. > > I suggest avoiding this, it could end up killing innocent alias netns. > > You could consider using the 'setup_ns' helper from the > tools/testing/selftests/net/lib.sh library to always generate unique > netns names.

Many openvswitch test cases reused netns and interface names. This works fine as long as the test case cleans up gracefully. However, if there is some kind of ungraceful termination (such as an external signal) the netns or interfaces can be left lingering. This happens when the selftest timeout gets exceeded, while running under very slow debugging conditions. The solution here is to cleanup the netns on executing the next test.
