Subject: [PATCH 0/6] selftests: forwarding: skip tests when kernel or userspace support is missing

Hi,

Several forwarding selftests currently assume that certain kernel
features or tc/ip capabilities are always present. When this is no the
case (e.g. kernel built without specific CONFIG options or older
iproute2).

This series adds explicit feature probing and conditional skips to
avoid false negatives.

Summary of changes:
1. forwarding/lib: skip tests that require LAG devices when the team
   driver is not supported (CONFIG_NET_TEAM disabled)
2. forwarding/sch_ets: skip tests if the cls_basic module is not
   available (CONFIG_NET_CLS_BASIC disabled)
3. forwarding/lib introduce run_cmd_grep helper to probe userspace
   feature support by matching keywords in command help output
4. forwarding/tc_flower_cfm: skip test when tc does not support cfm
5. forwarding/tc_flower_l2_miss: skip test when tc does not support
   l2_miss
6. forwarding/router_mpath_seed: skip tests then ip does not support
   hw_stats

Aleksei Oladko (6):
  selftests: forwarding: lib: skip test if team driver is not supported
  selftests: forwarding: sch_ets: skip test if cls_basic module is
    missing
  selftests: forwarding: lib: add run_cmd_grep helper for feature
    probing
  selftests: forwarding: tc_flower_cfm: skip tests if tools or feats are
    missing
  selftests: forwarding: tc_flower_l2_miss: skip tests if tools or feats
    are missing
  selftests: forwarding: router_mpath_seed: skip tests if tools or feats
    are missing
