Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 02/12] selftests/vsock: make
 wait_for_listener() work even if pipefail is on

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@...a.com>

Rewrite wait_for_listener()'s pattern matching to avoid tripping the
if-condition when pipefail is on.

awk doesn't gracefully handle SIGPIPE with a non-zero exit code, so grep
exiting upon finding a match causes false-positives when the pipefail
option is used (grep exists, SIGPIPE emits, and awk complains with a
non-zero exit code). Instead, move all of the pattern matching into awk
so that SIGPIPE cannot happen and the correct exit code is returned.

Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@...a.com>

Changes in v2:
- use awk-only tcp port lookup
- remove fixes tag because this problem is only introduced when a later
  patch enables pipefail for other reasons (not yet in tree)
