Now that there are helpers for converting IP tunnel flags between the old __be16 format and the bitmap format, make sure they work as expected by adding a couple of tests to the networking testing suite. The helpers are all inline, so no dependencies on the related CONFIG_* (or a standalone module) are needed. Cover three possible cases: 1. No bits past BIT(15) are set, VTI/SIT bits are not set. This conversion is almost a direct assignment. 2. No bits past BIT(15) are set, but VTI/SIT bit is set. During the conversion, it must be transformed into BIT(16) in the bitmap, but still compatible with the __be16 format. 3. The bitmap has bits past BIT(15) set (not the VTI/SIT one). The result will be truncated. Note that currently __IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_NUM is 17 (incl. special), which means that the result of this case is currently semi-false-positive. When BIT(17) is finally here, it will be adjusted accordingly. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin <aleksander.lobakin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
