Thanks, it worked :)

As these interfaces were not cleared by "make kselftest-clean",
this patch with a cleanup trap would be most welcome.

However, after the cleanup above, the ./l2_tos_ttl_inherit.sh
script hangs at the spot where it did in the first place (but
only on Lenovo desktop 10TX000VCR with BIOS M22KT49A from
11/10/2022, AlmaLinux 8.7, and kernel 6.2-rc2; not on Lenovo
Ideapad3 with Ubuntu 22.10, where it worked like a charm with
the same kernel RC).

The point of hang is this:

[root@pc-mtodorov net]# ./l2_tos_ttl_inherit.sh

Developers usually ask for bash -x output of the script that failed or hung
when reporting problems (too long for an email):

https://domac.alu.unizg.hr/~mtodorov/linux/selftests/net-namespace-20230106/bash-l2_tos_ttl_inherit.html

dmesg might be useful:

https://domac.alu.unizg.hr/~mtodorov/linux/selftests/net-namespace-20230106/dmesg-20230107.txt

Hope this helps.

I am rather new to namespaces, so I can't help more than that with the current
state of my learning curve :)

Thanks,
Mirsad
