[PATCH v2 10/13] selftests: net: Fix build warnings

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
Date: 2025-12-05 17:12:27
Also in: bpf, linux-kselftest, lkml
Subsystem: kernel selftest framework, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Shuah Khan, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Fix

ksft.h: In function ‘ksft_ready’:
ksft.h:27:9: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’ declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’

ksft.h: In function ‘ksft_wait’:
ksft.h:51:9: warning: ignoring return value of ‘read’ declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’

by checking the return value of the affected functions and displaying
an error message if an error is seen.

Fixes: 2b6d490b82668 ("selftests: drv-net: Factor out ksft C helpers")

v2: Update subject and description to reflect that the patch fixes build
    warnings.
    Use perror() to display an error message if one of the functions
    returns an error.
