Problem: Missed function
In pedit_dsfield.sh, the function do_test_ip_dscp_ecn() creates its own tc filter directly without
going through
do_test_pedit_dsfield():
tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/pedit_dsfield.sh lines 230-232
tc filter add $locus handle 101 pref 1 \
flower action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 124 retain 0xfc \
action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 1 retain 0x03
This function also modifies the IP header (dsfield), but the checksum recalculation was not added
here. This will
still fail with br_netfilter enabled.
Required fix
The line should be:
tc filter add $locus handle 101 pref 1 \
flower action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 124 retain 0xfc \
action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 1 retain 0x03 \
pipe action csum ip
