[PATCH] selftests: netfilter: ipvs.sh: Explicity disable rp_filter on interface tunl0

From: Yi Chen
Date: Wed Jul 23 2025 - 22:44:11 EST


Although setup_ns() set net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0,
loading certain module such as ipip will automatically create a tunl0 interface
in all netns including new created ones, this in script is before than
default.rp_filter=0 applied, as a result tunl0.rp_filter remains set to 1
which causes the test report FAIL when ipip module is preloaded.

Before fix:
Testing DR mode...
Testing NAT mode...
Testing Tunnel mode...
ipvs.sh: FAIL

After fix:
Testing DR mode...
Testing NAT mode...
Testing Tunnel mode...
ipvs.sh: PASS

Fixes: ("7c8b89ec5 selftests: netfilter: remove rp_filter configuration")
