[net PATCH 1/2] selftests: net: lib: fix broken ping with coreutils ping util
From: Christian Marangi
Date: Sat Nov 30 2024 - 06:33:55 EST
If the coreutils variant of ping is used instead of the busybox one, the
ping_do() command is broken. This comes by the fact that for coreutils
ping, the ping IP needs to be the very last elements.
To handle this, reorder the ping args and make $dip last element.
The use of coreutils ping might be useful for case where busybox is not
compiled with float interval support and ping command doesn't support
0.1 interval. (in such case a dedicated ping utility is installed
instead)
