According to the test description, these tests fail because of a wrong
nexthop device:
# ./fib-onlink-tests.sh -v
[...]
COMMAND: ip ro add table 254 169.254.101.102/32 via 169.254.3.1 dev veth1 onlink
Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.
TEST: Gateway resolves to wrong nexthop device [ OK ]
COMMAND: ip ro add table 1101 169.254.102.103/32 via 169.254.7.1 dev veth5 onlink
Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.
TEST: Gateway resolves to wrong nexthop device - VRF [ OK ]
[...]
But this is incorrect. They fail because the gateway addresses are local
addresses:
# ip -4 address show
[...]
28: veth3@if27: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link-netns peer_ns-Urqh3o
inet 169.254.3.1/24 scope global veth3
[...]
32: veth7@if31: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master lisa state UP group default qlen 1000 link-netns peer_ns-Urqh3o
inet 169.254.7.1/24 scope global veth7
Therefore, using a local address that matches the nexthop device fails
as well:
# ip ro add table 254 169.254.101.102/32 via 169.254.3.1 dev veth3 onlink
Error: Nexthop has invalid gateway.
Using a gateway address with a "wrong" nexthop device is actually valid
and allowed:
# ip route get 169.254.1.2
169.254.1.2 dev veth1 src 169.254.1.1 uid 0
# ip ro add table 254 169.254.101.102/32 via 169.254.1.2 dev veth3 onlink
# echo $?
0
Remove these tests given that their output is confusing and that the
scenario that they are testing is already covered by other tests.
A subsequent patch will add tests for the nexthop device mismatch
scenario.
