From a06ef43d2a50e16c32bd6edbdc7b32c3528687d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Burton Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2024 17:43:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] oeqa/runtime/ping: don't bother trying to ping localhost If SLIRP is being used instead of TAP for networking to the guest then the target IP will be localhost. There's no point in pinging localhost to see if the target is up but whilst you'd think it is harmless, in some containers ping doesn't actually have enough rights to work: ping: socktype: SOCK_RAW ping: socket: Operation not permitted ping: => missing cap_net_raw+p capability or setuid? Look at the target address and if it's localhost or 127.0.0.* return immediately.
