Before making any significant changes to the internals of the Linux

Sorry, I might need some guidance on what the checks patchwork
lists want from me here.

I'm running the tests with the following command without any
issues:

PATH="/mnt/net/iproute2/ip/:/mnt/net/iproute2/bridge/:$PATH" make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS="net/forwarding" TEST_GEN_PROGS="" TEST_PROGS="bridge_mdb_active.sh" run_tests

But why does shellcheck list so many errors with
"This function is never invoked." Even though they are invoked
with my above command?


I also don't get what netdev/check_selftest wants from me. I only
see "FAILED" here? https://netdev-ctrl.bots.linux.dev/logs/build/1059784/14444497/check_selftest/summary
