selftests: Add MACsec VLAN propagation traffic test

2026-04-10T02:38:42Z

Add VLAN filter propagation tests through offloaded MACsec devices via actual traffic. The tests create MACsec tunnels with matching SAs on both endpoints, stack VLANs on top, and verify connectivity with ping. Covered: - Offloaded MACsec with VLAN (filters propagate to HW) - Software MACsec with VLAN (no HW filter propagation) - Offload on/off toggle and verifying traffic still works On netdevsim this makes use of the VLAN filter debugfs file to actually validate that filters are applied/removed correctly. On real hardware the traffic should validate actual VLAN filter propagation.

selftests: net: move common xdp.py functions into lib

2026-03-29T21:09:08Z

This moves a few functions which can be useful to other python programs that manipulate XDP programs. This also refactors xdp.py to use the refactored functions. Signed-off-by: Chris J Arges Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260325201139.2501937-6-carges@cloudflare.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

selftests: drv-net: give HW stats sync time extra 25% of margin

2026-03-19T23:57:28Z

There are transient failures for devices which update stats periodically, especially if it's the FW DMA'ing the stats rather than host periodic work querying the FW. Wait 25% longer than strictly necessary. For devices which don't report stats-block-usecs we retain 25 msec as the default wait time (0.025sec == 20,000usec * 1.25).

selftests/net: Add env for container based tests

2026-03-06T21:11:17Z

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.

selftests: net: py: Add rand_ports helper method

2026-02-26T03:42:02Z

Certain tests need a unique set of ports. Successive calls to the existing rand_port method may return a duplicate port, resulting in test flakiness. The new helper keeps sockets open while building a list of ephemeral ports, thus the kernel enforces their uniqueness.

selftests/net: Make NetDrvContEnv support queue leasing

2026-01-20T10:58:50Z

Add a new parameter `lease` to NetDrvContEnv that sets up queue leasing in the env. The NETIF also has some ethtool parameters changed to support memory provider tests. This is needed in NetDrvContEnv rather than individual test cases since the cleanup to restore NETIF can't be done, until the netns in the env is gone.
