Commit Message

Mylène Josserand Aug. 2, 2018, 2:12 p.m. UTC
In case TUN support is not enabled, the test will fail while
performing the "ip" command with following error:
   open: No such file or directory
   netns_netlink    1  TBROK  :  netns_netlink.c:143: system() failed

As the system() call is not setting errno, we are not able to know
if the error is produced by a mis-configuration or not.

Because of that, this commit adds a check during the setup function to see
if the device "/dev/net/tun" is available or not. It is the file
that "ip tuntap add mode tap" command is looking for (and fails with
the "open" error).

Can you please implement your patch via .needs_drivers (recently contributed by
Alexey Kodanev)?
