RFC: unit tests for kernel GTP module
by Harald Welte 31 Dec '25

31 Dec '25

Dear GTP-interested folks, I would love to somehow get towards some degree of unit testing (or even "continuous integration") for teh kernel GTP code. We currently have the original code in the kernel, we had some recent small fixes and now are getting more patches into place. With relatively few active users out there (and probably none of them in production yet), it's particularly easy to introduce regressions while working on the code. Also, having tested new code even against a test set with limited covrage could help to get more confidence in new patches and thus get them merged sooner. Using tools like sgsnemu of OpenGGSN and the command line tools included in libgtpnl, it should be possibel to cook up some scripts for testing. Even the most basic set of tests would be an improvement over what we have now. One could also think about pcap replay to test with hand-crafted or real-world packets from other GTP implementations. As much as I'd like to put something like this into place myself, I don't think I will be able to work much on this in the near future. The GTP module at this point is a pure hobby and contrary to some years ago while I started it, I don't have any contract work in the GTP area at this point, so other projects currently unfortunately get more attention. So in case somebody among the GTP-interested parties (Travelping, OAI, ...) would want to do something in terms of testing, I'd be more than happy if somebody would step ahead. Otherwise it's all just vapourware going to end up on my ever-growing TODO list :/ Also, if netdev folks have some ideas/pointers about possible frameworks/tools for this kind of testing [it must exist for at least some other kernel networking code?]: Please let me know. I'd be interested to have a look if there's something that can be used as a basis (starting network namespaces, sending/transmitting packets, test case startup/teardown, ...) My "old school" approach would have been to start one or multiple user-mode-linux kernels (those that are to be tested), and then have scripts that set up a gtp socket and gtp tunnels via the libgtp command line tools, and throw packets at that. But I'm sure there must be quite powerful frameworks for that kind of testing in the 21st century? How do other tunneling implementations handle this?

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.6 121/606] gtp: set NLM_F_MULTI flag in gtp_genl_dump_pdp()
by Sasha Levin 08 Jun '20

From: Yoshiyuki Kurauchi <ahochauwaaaaa(a)gmail.com> [ Upstream commit 846c68f7f1ac82c797a2f1db3344a2966c0fe2e1 ] In drivers/net/gtp.c, gtp_genl_dump_pdp() should set NLM_F_MULTI flag since it returns multipart message. This patch adds a new arg "flags" in gtp_genl_fill_info() so that flags can be set by the callers. Signed-off-by: Yoshiyuki Kurauchi <ahochauwaaaaa(a)gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
