By making the following changes and using our own 4.19 kernel verification, we can observe the output that passes the test in dmesg.

When using the 4.19 stable branch kernel for verification, the dmesg has no output, which looks more like the test program is not running. However, the code of vxlan.c is the same.

May i ask if the changes made to the maintainer are reasonable?

Why is this only a 4.19.y thing? Why is this not also relevent for Linus's current tree?

thanks,
