stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.110 commit 1ba28cb69218b01408b8793db68a9edaa8407d86 bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I574AL
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit d23a8720327d33616f584d76c80824bfa4699be6 ]
In test_lwt_ip_encap, the ingress IPv6 encap test failed from time to time. The failure occured when an IPv4 ping through the IPv6 GRE encapsulation did not receive a reply within the timeout. The IPv4 ping and the IPv6 ping in the test used different timeouts (1 sec for IPv4 and 6 sec for IPv6), probably taking into account that IPv6 might need longer to successfully complete. However, when IPv4 pings (with the short timeout) are encapsulated into the IPv6 tunnel, the delays of IPv6 apply.
The actual reason for the long delays with IPv6 was that the IPv6 neighbor discovery sometimes did not complete in time. This was caused by the outgoing interface only having a tentative link local address, i.e., not having completed DAD for that lladdr. The ND was successfully retried after 1 sec but that was too late for the ping timeout.
The IPv6 addresses for the test were already added with nodad. However, for the lladdrs, DAD was still performed. We now disable DAD in the test netns completely and just assume that the two lladdrs on each veth pair do not collide. This removes all the delays for IPv6 traffic in the test.
Without the delays, we can now also reduce the delay of the IPv6 ping to 1 sec. This makes the whole test complete faster because we don't need to wait for the excessive timeout for each IPv6 ping that is supposed to fail.
