[PATCH net v1 2/2] selftests: tc-testing: test action batch failure cleanup
From: Xuanqiang Luo
Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 03:14:58 EST
From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add tests for cleanup after a batched RTM_NEWACTION request fails.
Replace an existing gact action bound to a filter, then fail a later
entry by requesting goto chain without a classifier context.
Check that the bound action's reference count returns to its original
value. Also cover a successfully initialized new action between the
bound action and the failing entry, verifying that its reserved index
can be reused. Repeat the bound action in another batch to check that
each temporary reference to the same action is released.
