PATCH 1/1 selftests: mptcp: connect modes: re-add exec mode

It looks like the execution permissions (+x) got lost during the backports of these new files.

The issue is that some CIs don't execute these tests without that.

Fixes 37848a456fc3 ("selftests: mptcp: connect: also cover alt modes")
Fixes fdf0f60a2bb0 ("selftests: mptcp: connect: also cover checksum")

I'm not sure why they got lost, maybe Quilt doesn't support that? But then, can this patch still be applied?
The same patch can be applied up to v5.10. In v5.10, only mptcp_connect_mmap.sh file is present, but I can send a dedicated patch for v5.10.

Hi Matthieu,

Thank you for your modifications, that's great!

Our CI did some validations and here is its report:

- KVM Validation: normal (except selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: normal (only selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: debug (except selftest_mptcp_join): Unstable: 1 failed test(s): packetdrill_fastopen 🔴
- KVM Validation: debug (only selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: btf-normal (only bpftest_all): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: btf-debug (only bpftest_all): Success! ✅
- Task: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/actions/runs/19042890953

Initiator: Patchew Applier
Commits: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/commits/6dc025489b98
Patchwork: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/list/?series=1019038

If there are some issues, you can reproduce them using the same environment as the one used by the CI thanks to a docker image, e.g.:

    $ cd [kernel source code]
    $ docker run -v "${PWD}:${PWD}:rw" -w "${PWD}" --privileged --rm -it \
        --pull always mptcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker:latest \
        auto-normal

For more details:

https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker

Please note that despite all the efforts that have been already done to have a stable tests suite when executed on a public CI like here, it is possible some reported issues are not due to your modifications. Still, do not hesitate to help us improve that ;-)

Cheers,

This is going to be a pain to apply, given that we use quilt, and that does not handle modes well, if at all.

So yes, that is why these files are not marked executable, but I thought we were moving away from that anyway, most scripts should not be marked that way.

thanks,

I see. I should be able to find a solution:

- some CIs use kselftest's runner.sh script, and kernels >= 5.10 have a fix thanks to 303f8e2d0200 ("selftests/kselftest/runner/run_one(): allow running non-executable files"): it prints a warning, so I thought I had to fix it, but fine to keep the warning and drop the fix.

- Others try to execute the scripts directly, but I should be able to fix those.

Cheers,
Matt
