The tests at tools/testing/selftests/bpf can run in patch mode, e.g.,
make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf run_tests
With the batch mode, I experimented intermittent test failure of
test_xdp_redirect.sh.
....
selftests: test_xdp_redirect [PASS]
selftests: test_xdp_redirect.sh [PASS]
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
selftests: test_xdp_meta [FAILED]
selftests: test_xdp_meta.sh [FAIL]
....
The following illustrates what caused the failure:
(1). test_xdp_redirect creates veth pairs (veth1,veth11) and
(veth2,veth22), and assign veth11 and veth22 to namespace
ns1 and ns2 respectively.
(2). at the end of test_xdp_redirect test, ns1 and ns2 are
deleted. During this process, the deletion of actual
namespace resources, including deletion of veth1{1} and veth2{2},
is put into a workqueue to be processed asynchronously.
(3). test_xdp_meta tries to create veth pair (veth1, veth2).
The previous veth deletions in step (2) have not finished yet,
and veth1 or veth2 may be still valid in the kernel, thus
causing the failure.
The fix is to explicitly delete the veth pair before test_xdp_redirect
exits. Only one end of veth needs deletion as the kernel will delete
the other end automatically. Also test_xdp_meta is also fixed in
similar manner to avoid future potential issues.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
