Add an env NetDrvContEnv for container based selftests. This automates
the setup of a netns, netkit pair with one inside the netns, and a BPF
program that forwards skbs from the NETIF host inside the container.
Currently only netkit is used, but other virtual netdevs e.g. veth can
be used too.
Expect netkit container datapath selftests to have a publicly routable
IP prefix to assign to netkit in a container, such that packets will
land on eth0. The BPF skb forward program will then forward such packets
from the host netns to the container netns.

The toeplitz.py test passed the hex mask without "0x" prefix (e.g.,
"300" for CPUs 8,9). The toeplitz.c strtoul() call wrongly parsed this
as decimal 300 (0x12c) instead of hex 0x300.
Pass the prefixed mask to toeplitz.c, and the unprefixed one to sysfs.

GRO test groups the cases into categories, e.g. "tcp" case
checks coalescing in presence of:
- packets with bad csum,
- sequence number mismatch,
- timestamp option value mismatch,
- different TCP options.
Since we now have TAP support grouping the cases like that
lowers our reporting granularity. This matters even more for
NICs performing HW GRO and LRO since it appears that most
implementation have _some_ bugs. Flagging the whole group
of tests as failed prevents us from catching regressions
in the things that work today.

Clean up the feature handling for SW GRO a bit to let the next commit

Be more careful about changing features as "nothing changed"
situations may result in non-zero error code from ethtool.

The PSP responder fails when zero or multiple PSP devices are detected.
There's an option to select the device id to use (-d) but it's
currently not used from the PSP self test. It's also hard to use because
the PSP test doesn't dump the PSP devices so can't choose one.
When zero devices are detected, psp_responder fails which will cause the
parent test to fail as well instead of skipping PSP tests.
Fix both of these problems. Change psp_responder to:
- not fail when no PSP devs are detected.
- get an optional -i ifindex argument instead of -d.
- select the correct PSP dev from the dump corresponding to ifindex or
- select the first PSP dev when -i is not given.
- fail when multiple devs are found and -i is not given.
- warn and continue when the requested ifindex is not found.
Also plumb the ifindex from the Python test.
With these, when there are no PSP devs found or the wrong one is chosen,
psp_responder opens the server socket, listens for control connections
normally, and leaves the skipping of the various test cases which
require a PSP device (~most, but not all of them) to the parent test.
This results in output like:
ok 1 psp.test_case # SKIP No PSP devices found
[...]
ok 12 psp.dev_get_device # SKIP No PSP devices found
ok 13 psp.dev_get_device_bad
ok 14 psp.dev_rotate # SKIP No PSP devices found

The test sends 2 large frames (64k + change). Looks like the default

Bump the rcvbuf to 1MB.

This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.

analysis. This makes it possible to measure bandwidth directly when
validating egress shaping.

Jakub reported increased flakiness in bond_macvlan_ipvlan.sh on regular
kernel, while the tests consistently pass on a debug kernel. This suggests
a timing-sensitive issue.
To mitigate this, introduce a short sleep before each xvlan_over_bond

have fully converged before verifying connectivity.
The sleep interval is kept minimal since check_connection() is invoked

Presumably because a lot of packages depend on it. I just updated

at this stage I think this warrants handling the build failure
more gracefully.
Detect if iouring is recent enough and if not print a warning
and exclude the C prog from build. The Python test will just
fail since the binary won't exist. But it removes the major

buffer is allocated dynamically.
The previous limit of 16 was necessary because the buffer was statically

There's a lot of cases where we try to re-run the same code with
different parameters. We currently need to either use a generator
method or create a "main" case implementation which then gets called
by trivial case functions:
def _test(x, y, z):
...
def case_int():
_test(1, 2, 3)
def case_str():
_test('a', 'b', 'c')
Add support for variants, similar to kselftests_harness.h and
a lot of other frameworks. Variants can be added as decorator
to test functions:
@ksft_variants([(1, 2, 3), ('a', 'b', 'c')])
def case(x, y, z):
...
ksft_run() will auto-generate case names:
case.1_2_3
case.a_b_c
Because the names may not always be pretty (and to avoid forcing
classes to implement case-friendly __str__()) add a wrapper class
KsftNamedVariant which lets the user specify the name for the variant.
Note that ksft_run's args are still supported. ksft_run splices args
and variant params together.

Lower the number of packets to 1000 and reopen the socket

Create a netconsole test that puts a lot of pressure on the netconsole
list manipulation. Do it by creating dynamic targets and deleting
targets while messages are being sent. Also put interface down while the
messages are being sent, as creating parallel targets.
The code launches three background jobs on distinct schedules:
* Toggle netcons target every 30 iterations
* create and delete random_target every 50 iterations
* toggle iface every 70 iterations
This creates multiple concurrency sources that interact with netconsole
states. This is good practice to simulate stress, and exercise netpoll
and netconsole locks.
This test already found an issue as reported in [1]

Extract the netconsole target creation from create_dynamic_target(), by
moving it from create_dynamic_target() into a new helper function. This
enables other tests to use the creation of netconsole targets with
arbitrary parameters and no sleep.
The new helper will be utilized by forthcoming torture-type selftests
that require dynamic target management.
