Hi Willem,

I tried to run packetdrill in selftest, but doesn't work. e.g.

# rpm -q packetdrill
packetdrill-2.0~20220927gitc556afb-10.fc41.x86_64
# make mrproper
# vng --build \
            --config tools/testing/selftests/net/packetdrill/config \
            --config kernel/configs/debug.config
# vng -v --run . --user root --cpus 4 -- \
            make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net/packetdrill run_tests
make: Entering directory '/home/net/tools/testing/selftests'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

All the test failed. Even I use ksft_runner.sh it also failed.

# ./ksft_runner.sh tcp_inq_client.pkt

Is there any special config needed for packetdrill testing?

Thanks
