selftests: bonding: add test for stacked bond header_parse recursion

2026-03-24T02:37:04Z

Add a selftest to reproduce the infinite recursion in bond_header_parse() when bonds are stacked (bond1 -> bond0 -> gre). When a packet is received via AF_PACKET SOCK_DGRAM on the topmost bond, dev_parse_header() calls bond_header_parse() which used skb->dev (always the topmost bond) to get the bonding struct. This caused it to recurse back into itself indefinitely, leading to stack overflow. Before commit b7405dcf7385 ("bonding: prevent potential infinite loop in bond_header_parse()"), the test triggers: ./bond_stacked_header_parse.sh [ 71.999481] BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low! [ 72.000170] turning off the locking correctness validator. [ 72.001029] Please attach the output of /proc/lock_stat to the bug report [ 72.002079] depth: 48 max: 48! ... After the fix, everything works fine: ./bond_stacked_header_parse.sh TEST: Stacked bond header_parse does not recurse [ OK ] Signed-off-by: Jiayuan Chen Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260320022245.392384-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

selftests: bonding: add delay before each xvlan_over_bond connectivity check

2025-11-29T04:16:22Z

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 connectivity check. The delay helps ensure neighbor and route cache have fully converged before verifying connectivity. The sleep interval is kept minimal since check_connection() is invoked nearly 100 times during the test.

selftest: netcons: add test for netconsole over bonded interfaces

2025-11-11T02:34:44Z

This patch adds a selftest that verifies netconsole functionality over bonded network interfaces using netdevsim. It sets up two bonded interfaces acting as transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ends, placed in separate network namespaces. The test sends kernel log messages and verifies that they are properly received on the bonded RX interfaces with both IPv4 and IPv6, and using basic and extended netconsole formats. This patchset aims to test a long-standing netpoll subsystem where netpoll has multiple users. (in this case netconsole and bonding). A similar selftest has been discussed in [1] and [2]. This test also tries to enable bonding and netpoll in different order, just to guarantee that all the possibilities are exercised.

selftests: net: unify the Makefile formats

2025-10-06T20:14:06Z

We get a significant number of conflicts between net and net-next because of selftests Makefile changes. People tend to append new test cases at the end of the Makefile when there's no clear sort order. Sort all networking selftests Makefiles, use the following format: VAR_NAME := \ entry1 \ entry2 \ entry3 \ # end of VAR_NAME Some Makefiles are already pretty close to this.

selftests: bonding: add ipsec offload test

2025-09-30T07:55:12Z

This introduces a test for IPSec offload over bonding, utilizing netdevsim for the testing process, as veth interfaces do not support IPSec offload. The test will ensure that the IPSec offload functionality remains operational even after a failover event occurs in the bonding configuration.
