As part of the ongoing effort to get rid of any standalone test, this
script should either be fixed and converted to test_progs or removed.
Remove it.

I've sent a fix to for the test in a separate email.
This regressed a long time ago; is anyone running these tests? There is
not much point to selftests if they're not run by anyone. I should add
them to linux-media CI, but is anyone in bpf running them?
I am not familiar with test_progs, what's that?
test_progs is the selftest's application run by the BPF CI for every
patch series sent to [email protected] (or PR done to the BPF github).
It's made out of the C files located in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
prog_tests/.
The shell scripts under tools/testing/selftests/bpf aren't run
automatically anywhere (to my knowledge at least). The goal of the 'on-
going effort' I mentioned is to get rid of these scripts by either
integrating them to the 'test_progs infra' or removing them.
If you're going to add this script to the linux-media CI, maybe we could
remove it from here ?
Gentle ping: would it be OK for you if we remove the test from here ?
I've seen your fix, the bug was introduced in 5.17, which means no one
had run it for 4 years. Given that, I'm not sure it's worth the effort
of porting it to the test_progs infra.
Best regards,
Bastien
