CI: systest: safer random_rfc1918_subnet #20494
Conversation
Our aarch64 CI system uses 172.31.0.0/20. Because I was (and am) lazy, my random_rfc1918_subnet() helper was only checking /24. This causes flakes. Solution is to actually do it right: binary arithmetic, prefix matching. This is effectively impossible in bash, so, use a hairy perl helper and add copious tests.

Solution is to actually do it right: binary arithmetic, prefix
matching. This is effectively impossible in bash, so, use a
hairy perl oneliner and add copious tests.
Note: I considered
ipcalc
,ipcalc-ng
,sipcalc
, various python packages. Given our system-test constraints where we need to run on fedora, debian, and RHEL, I believe this is the safest approach in terms of portability. There may be cleaner options I did not consider, so please speak up if you have better suggestions.Fixes: #18693
