selftests/bpf: Wait for the netstamp_needed_key static key to be turned on
After the previous patch that speeded up the test (by avoiding neigh discovery in IPv6), the BPF CI occasionally hits this error: rcv tstamp unexpected pkt rcv tstamp: actual 0 == expected 0 The test complains about the cmsg returned from the recvmsg() does not have the rcv timestamp. Setting skb->tstamp or not is controlled by a kernel static key "netstamp_needed_key". The static key is enabled whenever this is at least one sk with the SOCK_TIMESTAMP set. The test_redirect_dtime does use setsockopt() to turn on the SOCK_TIMESTAMP for the reading sk. In the kernel net_enable_timestamp() has a delay to enable the "netstamp_needed_key" when CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set. This potential delay is the likely reason for packet missing rcv timestamp occasionally. This patch is to create udp sockets with SOCK_TIMESTAMP set. It sends and receives some packets until the received packet has a rcv timestamp. It currently retries at most 5 times with 1s in between. This should be enough to wait for the "netstamp_needed_key". It then holds on to the socket and only closes it at the end of the test. This guarantees that the test has the "netstamp_needed_key" key turned on from the beginning. To simplify the udp sockets setup, they are sending/receiving packets in the same netns (ns_dst is used) and communicate over the "lo" dev. Hence, the patch enables the "lo" dev in the ns_dst.
