When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftest

...clang warns that "a variable sized type not at the end of a struct or
class is a GNU extension".

These cases are not easily changed, because they involve structs that
are part of the API. Fortunately, however, the tests seem to be doing
just fine (specifically, neither affected test runs any differently with
gcc vs. clang builds, on my test system) regardless of the warning. So,
all the warning is doing is preventing a clean build of selftests/net.

Fix this by suppressing this particular clang warning for the
selftests/net suite.

Thank you for fixing these warnings!

The modification in the MPTCP selftest directory looks good to me:

This is only intended to be used in the case where the IP proto is not TCP:

                        BPF_STMT(BPF_LD  + BPF_B   + BPF_ABS, ipproto_off),
+                       BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP + BPF_JEQ + BPF_K, IPPROTO_TCP, 2, 0),
+                       BPF_STMT(BPF_LD  + BPF_B   + BPF_ABS, opt_ipproto_off),
                        BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP + BPF_JEQ + BPF_K, IPPROTO_TCP, 0, 5),

In that case the test tries again at a different offset that accounts
for optional IPv6 extension headers.

This is indeed buggy, in that it might accidentally accept packets
that should be dropped.

Initializing to 0 compares against against the first byte of the
Ethernet header. Which is an external argument to the test. So
safest is to initialize opt_ipproto_off to ipproto_off and just
repeat the previous check. Perhaps:

@@ -118,6 +118,7 @@ static void setup_sock_filter(int fd)
        else
                next_off = offsetof(struct ipv6hdr, nexthdr);
        ipproto_off = ETH_HLEN + next_off;
+       opt_ipproto_off = ipproto_off;  /* overridden later if may have exthdrs */

OK, thanks for pointing out the right fix, I'll send a v2 that does that.
