selftests/bpf: Set MACs during veth creation in tc_redirect
tc_redirect/tc_redirect_dtime fails intermittently on some systems
with:
(network_helpers.c:303: errno: Operation now in progress) Failed to connect to server
The problem is that on these systems systemd-networkd and systemd-udevd
are installed in the default configuration, which includes:
/usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules
These configs instruct systemd to change MAC addresses of newly created
interfaces, which includes the ones created by BPF selftests. In this
particular case it causes SYN+ACK packets to be dropped, because they
get the PACKET_OTHERHOST type - the fact that this causes a connect()
on a blocking socket to return -EINPROGRESS looks like a bug, which
needs to be investigated separately.
systemd won't change the MAC address if the kernel reports that it was
already set by userspace; the NET_ADDR_SET check in
link_generate_new_hw_addr() is responsible for this.
In order to eliminate the race window between systemd and the test,
set MAC addresses during link creation. Ignore checkpatch's "quoted
string split across lines" warning, since it points to a command line,
and not a user-visible message.
