    selftests: forwarding: fix flood_unicast_test when h2 supports IFF_UNICAST_FLT · b8e629b0
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    As mentioned in the blamed commit, flood_unicast_test() works by
    checking the match count on a tc filter placed on the receiving
    interface.
    
    But the second host interface (host2_if) has no interest in receiving a
    packet with MAC DA de:ad:be:ef:13:37, so its RX filter drops it even
    before the ingress tc filter gets to be executed. So we will incorrectly
    get the message "Packet was not flooded when should", when in fact, the
    packet was flooded as expected but dropped due to an unrelated reason,
    at some other layer on the receiving side.
    
    Force h2 to accept this packet by temporarily placing it in promiscuous
    mode. Alternatively we could either deliver to its MAC address or use
    tcpdump_start, but this has the fewest complications.
    
    This fixes the "flooding" test from bridge_vlan_aware.sh and
    bridge_vlan_unaware.sh, which calls flood_test from the lib.
    
    Fixes: 236dd50b ("selftests: forwarding: Add a test for flooded traffic")
