If the testing kernel doesn't support setting fdb_max_learned or show
fdb_n_learned, just skip it. Or we will get errors like

./bridge_fdb_learning_limit.sh: line 218: [: null: integer expression expected
./bridge_fdb_learning_limit.sh: line 225: [: null: integer expression expected

Isn't the selftest supposed to be added after the feature was included?

I don't understand why this one is special, we should have the same
issue with all new features.

I must admit I was surprised when I learned the fact, but the stable 
team routinely runs up2date upstream self-tests on top of stable/older 
kernels:

https://lore.kernel.org/mptcp/ZAHLYvOPEYghRcJ1@kroah.com/

The expected self-test design is to probe the tested feature and skip if 
not available in the running kernel. The self-test should not break when 
run on an older kernel not offering such feature.

I understand some (most?) of the self-tests do not cope with the above 
perfectly, but we can improve ;).

Thanks,

Paolo

Interesting, and unexpected at least for me. :) But okay, I'll keep it in mind
when sending/reviewing patches.

Thanks!

Thanks for the fix. I also assumed that it's fine to depend on new
features after trying to find out how those feature tests are usually
done from the surrounding tests and their history.

The code looks right to me, and seems to behave as expected when feeding
it data with and without fdb_n_learned.
