I am now building from new system (comp), and the kernel selftests are 
not being installed correctly, so I haven't been able to run the 
selftests yet.

I have made a blackhole selftest, which looks like this:

test_blackhole_fdb()
{
         RET=0

         check_blackhole_fdb_support || return 0

         tcpdump_start $h2
         $MZ $h1 -q -t udp -a $h1 -b $h2
         tcpdump_stop
         tcpdump_show | grep -q udp
         check_err $? "test_blackhole_fdb: No packet seen on initial"
         tcpdump_cleanup

         bridge fdb add `mac_get $h2` dev br0 blackhole
         bridge fdb show dev br0 | grep -q "blackhole"
         check_err $? "test_blackhole_fdb: No blackhole FDB entry found"

         tcpdump_start $h2
         $MZ $h1 -q -t udp -a $h1 -b $h2
         tcpdump_stop
         tcpdump_show | grep -q udp
         check_fail $? "test_blackhole_fdb: packet seen with blackhole 
fdb entry"
         tcpdump_cleanup

         bridge fdb del `mac_get $h2` dev br0 blackhole
         bridge fdb show dev br0 | grep -q "blackhole"
         check_fail $? "test_blackhole_fdb: Blackhole FDB entry not 
deleted"

         tcpdump_start $h2
         $MZ $h1 -q -t udp -a $h1 -b $h2
         tcpdump_stop
         tcpdump_show | grep -q udp
         check_err $? "test_blackhole_fdb: No packet seen after removing 
blackhole FDB entry"
         tcpdump_cleanup

         log_test "Blackhole FDB entry test"
}

the setup is simple and is the same as in bridge_sticky_fdb.sh.

Does the test look sound or is there obvious mistakes?
