Can you send me the output of 'bash -x nft_trans_stress.sh'?
It should tell which command/program isn't making progress.

Hi, Florian!

Well, when ran alone, the script ended successfully:

root@marvin-IdeaPad-3-15ITL6:/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds/tools/testing/selftests/netfilter# bash nft_trans_stress.sh
PASS: nft add/delete test returned 0
PASS: nft reload test returned 0
PASS: nft add/delete with nftrace enabled test returned 0
PASS: nft add/delete with nftrace enabled test returned 0
root@marvin-IdeaPad-3-15ITL6:/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds/tools/testing/selftests/netfilter#

There was no stall after "nft reload test" in a standalone superuser run.

Hmm. Does this patch make it work when running via 'make kselftest'?

I've got the following output:

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds/tools/testing/selftests/netfilter'

It did not hang, but still did not finish all 4 tests correctly like when ran standalone:

root@marvin-IdeaPad-3-15ITL6:/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds/tools/testing/selftests/netfilter# time ./nft_trans_stress.sh

I hope we're closer to the solution.

Kind regards,
Mirsad
