Subject: [PATCH bpf v4 2/2] selftests/bpf: Add tests to verify the fix of encapsulating VxLAN in lwt

From: Leon Hwang <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 23:09:31 +0800

Add two tests to verify the transport header of skb has been set when
encapsulate VxLAN using bpf_lwt_push_encap() helper.

1. VxLAN over IPv4.
2. VxLAN over IPv6.

Without the fix, the tests would fail:

 lwt_ip_encap_vxlan:FAIL:transport_hdr offset unexpected transport_hdr offset: actual 70 != expected 20
 #208     lwt_ip_encap_vxlan_ipv4:FAIL
 lwt_ip_encap_vxlan:FAIL:transport_hdr offset unexpected transport_hdr offset: actual 110 != expected 40
 #209     lwt_ip_encap_vxlan_ipv6:FAIL

The unexpected offsets are: outer encap headers
(IPv4: iphdr+udp+vxlan+eth = 50 bytes, IPv6: ipv6hdr+udp+vxlan+eth = 70 bytes)
plus the inner IP header (20 or 40 bytes), because without the fix
transport_header still points at the inner transport layer instead of the
outer UDP header.
