netdevsim: add fw_update_flash_chunk_time_ms debugfs knobs

2025-07-24T00:08:56Z

Netdevsim emulates firmware update and it takes 5 seconds to complete. For some use cases, this is too long and unnecessary. Allow user to configure the time by exposing debugfs a knob to set chunk time.

net: netdevsim: Support setting dev->perm_addr on port creation

2025-07-12T00:00:18Z

Network management daemons that match on the device permanent address currently have no virtual interface types to test against. NetworkManager, in particular, has carried an out of tree patch to set the permanent address on netdevsim devices to use in its CI for this purpose. To support this use case, support setting netdev->perm_addr when creating a netdevsim port.

netdevsim: migrate to dstats stats collection

2025-06-19T23:15:34Z

Replace custom statistics tracking with the kernel's dstats infrastructure to simplify code and improve consistency with other network drivers. This change: - Sets dev->pcpu_stat_type = NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS for automatic automatic allocation and deallocation. - Removes manual stats fields and their update - Replaces custom nsim_get_stats64() with dev_get_stats() - Uses dev_dstats_tx_add() and dev_dstats_tx_dropped() helpers - Eliminates the need for manual synchronization primitives The dstats framework provides the same functionality with less code.

netdevsim: remove udp_ports_sleep

2025-06-19T01:53:51Z

Now that there is only one path in udp_tunnel, there is no need to have udp_ports_sleep knob. Remove it and adjust the test.

netdevsim: add dummy device notifiers

2025-04-03T22:32:08Z

In order to exercise and verify notifiers' locking assumptions, register dummy notifiers (via register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net). Share notifier event handler that enforces the assumptions with lock_debug.c (rename and export rtnl_net_debug_event as netdev_debug_event). Add ops lock asserts to netdev_debug_event.

xfrm: provide common xdo_dev_offload_ok callback implementation

2025-02-21T07:08:15Z

Almost all drivers except bond and nsim had same check if device can perform XFRM offload on that specific packet. The check was that packet doesn't have IPv4 options and IPv6 extensions. In NIC drivers, the IPv4 HELEN comparison was slightly different, but the intent was to check for the same conditions. So let's chose more strict variant as a common base.

netdevsim: call napi_schedule from a timer context

2025-02-20T21:18:31Z

The netdevsim driver was experiencing NOHZ tick-stop errors during packet transmission due to pending softirq work when calling napi_schedule(). This issue was observed when running the netconsole selftest, which triggered the following error message: NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!! To fix this issue, introduce a timer that schedules napi_schedule() from a timer context instead of calling it directly from the TX path. Create an hrtimer for each queue and kick it from the TX path, which then schedules napi_schedule() from the timer context.
