Re: [PATCH] selftests: bpf: test_kmod.sh: check the module path before insmod

Hi Naresh,

test_kmod.sh reported false failure when module not present.
Check test_bpf.ko is present in the path before loading it.

Stop using "insmod $SRC_TREE/lib/test_bpf.ko" instead use
"modprobe test_bpf"

Thanks for looking into this! Could we have a way to be able to
support both? Say, when test_bpf.ko from SRC_TREE is not present,
we try with modprobe -q fallback? I would still like to support
the case where you can make local changes and add new tests to
test_bpf.c, recompile and then just rerun the test_kmod.sh w/o
having to install it first.

Thanks,
Daniel
