Not sure if the fixes tag should be c5341bcc337c ("selftests: mlxsw: Add a
self-test for port-default priority"), so the fixes could be backported to
stable kernel for forwarding/lib.sh. Others looks good to me.

Good point, I didn't notice it was coming from there.

I don't think that's needed: 'net/forwarding/lib.sh' is far from being
compatible with 'errexit', please look at all the utilisations of '$?'.

For 'net/lib.sh', that's different: some functions explicitly check for
'errexit' support. If I'm not mistaken, I fixed the only place where it
was not compatible with 'errexit'.
