Subject: [PROBLEM] selftests: net/forwarding/*.sh: 'Command line is not
 complete. Try option "help"'

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with net/forwarding line of 6.5-rc2 kselftests,
vanilla Torvalds tree, commit fdf0eaf11452, on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish.

(Confirmed on Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu.)

Tests fail with error message:

Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
Failed to create netif

The script

# tools/testing/seltests/net/forwarding/bridge_igmp.sh

bash `set -x` ends with an error:

++ create_netif_veth
++ local i
++ (( i = 1 ))
++ (( i <= NUM_NETIFS ))
++ local j=2
++ ip link show dev
++ [[ 255 -ne 0 ]]
++ ip link add type veth peer name
Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
++ [[ 255 -ne 0 ]]
++ echo 'Failed to create netif'
Failed to create netif
++ exit 1

The problem seems to be linked with this piece of code of "lib.sh":

create_netif_veth()
{
         local i

         for ((i = 1; i <= NUM_NETIFS; ++i)); do
                 local j=$((i+1))

                 ip link show dev ${NETIFS[p$i]} &> /dev/null
                 if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
                         ip link add ${NETIFS[p$i]} type veth \
                                 peer name ${NETIFS[p$j]}
                         if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
                                 echo "Failed to create netif"
                                 exit 1
                         fi
                 fi
                 i=$j
         done
}

Somehow, ${NETIFS[p$i]} is evaluated to an empty string?

However, I can't seem to see what is the expected result.

The problem was confirmed in the backlogs of 6.5-rc1 and 6.4 kselftests.

It is possible that I'm doing something terribly wrong, but it is basically
the default kselftest suite on a rather minimal Ubuntu.

Please find attached the bash output from `set -x`.

Version of iproute2 is:
ii  iproute2       5.15.0-1ubuntu2 amd64        networking and traffic control tools

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Mirsad Todorovac
