[PATCH net 3/4] selftests: openvswitch: Skip drop testing on older kernels

From: Aaron Conole
Date: Fri Oct 06 2023 - 11:14:02 EST


Kernels that don't have support for openvswitch drop reasons also
won't have the drop counter reasons, so we should skip the test
completely. It previously wasn't possible to build a test case
for this without polluting the datapath, so we introduce a mechanism
to clear all the flows from a datapath allowing us to test for
explicit drop actions, and then clear the flows to build the
original test case.

Fixes: 4242029164d6 ("selftests: openvswitch: add explicit drop testcase")
