[PATCH net] selftests/net: use destination options instead of hop-by-hop

by Anubhav Singh

The GRO self-test, gro.c, currently constructs IPv6 packets containing a Hop-by-Hop Options header (IPPROTO_HOPOPTS) to ensure the GRO path correctly handles IPv6 extension headers. However, network elements may be configured to drop packets with the Hop-by-Hop Options header (HBH). This causes the self-test to fail in environments where such network elements are present. To improve the robustness and reliability of this test in diverse network environments, switch from using IPPROTO_HOPOPTS to IPPROTO_DSTOPTS (Destination Options). The Destination Options header is less likely to be dropped by intermediate routers and still serves the core purpose of the test: validating GRO's handling of an IPv6 extension header. This change ensures the test can execute successfully without being incorrectly failed by network policies outside the kernel's control.

[PATCH net] selftests/net: fix out-of-order delivery of FIN in gro:tcp test

by Anubhav Singh

Due to the gro_sender sending data packets and FIN packets in very quick succession, these are received almost simultaneously by the gro_receiver. FIN packets are sometimes processed before the data packets leading to intermittent (~1/100) test failures. This change adds a delay of 100ms before sending FIN packets in gro:tcp test to avoid the out-of-order delivery. The same mitigation already exists for the gro:ip test.
