From: Andre Carvalho Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 22:19:17 +0000 (+0100) Subject: selftests: netconsole: only restore MAC when it changed on resume X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=04aeddf2dadd0eb7ad016a766dcbe9c983311f09;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git selftests: netconsole: only restore MAC when it changed on resume The "mac" bind mode reactivation downs the interface, restores the saved MAC and renames it to trigger a target resume. This assumes the recreated interface comes back with a different MAC, which is true under MACAddressPolicy=none (as on the Netdev CI) but not when MACs are persistent. In the persistent case netconsole resumes the target on its own, and the down/restore/rename flow instead drops it and fails the test. Guard the block on the MAC having actually changed so the test passes under both policies.
