This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed- bionic'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Look into the code, it's the kci_test_encap_fou() test that causes this issue: ip fou help 2>&1 |grep -q 'Usage: ip fou' if [ $? -ne 0 ];then echo "SKIP: fou: iproute2 too old" return 1 fi It should at least return ksft_skip=4 (or 0 with older release that does not support this skip code in kselftest framework) == Fix == * 57aefc7c226d ("selftests: net: return Kselftest Skip code for skipped tests") This patch needs to be backported into Bionic, as some newer tests does not exist in Bionic. == Test == Tested directly on the affected kernel, the test will be marked as: not ok 1..10 selftests: rtnetlink.sh [SKIP] == Regression Potential == Low, changes limited to test scripts. And the kselftest framework in Bionic can handle this ksft_skip=4 return code properly, tests won't be marked as failed because of this. Although IMO in this case the test should be marked as PASS instead of SKIP in the end, as not all tests were skipped, but that's something we could fix with upstream in the future.
