[PATCH net-next] selftests: net: Remove unnecessary backslashes in fq_band_pktlimit.sh

From: Yohei Kojima

Date: Tue Mar 24 2026 - 13:23:57 EST


Address "grep: warning: stray \ before white space" warning from GNU
grep 3.12. This warns the misplaced backslashes before whitespaces
(e.g. \\' ' or '\ ') which leads to unspecified behavior [1].

We can just remove the backslashes before whitespaces as POSIX says:

Enclosing characters in single-quotes ('') shall preserve the literal
value of each character within the single-quotes.

and bourne-compatible shells behave so.

I tested the patch with bash 5.3.9. I couldn't test it with dash because
the test depends on a bash extension with "if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]".

Thanks,
Yohei
