selftests: net: Skip test if IPv6 is not configured

2025-07-25T18:25:34Z

Extend the `check_for_dependencies()` function in `lib_netcons.sh` to check whether IPv6 is enabled by verifying the existence of `/proc/net/if_inet6`. Having IPv6 is a now a dependency of netconsole tests. If the file does not exist, the script will skip the test with an appropriate message suggesting to verify if `CONFIG_IPV6` is enabled. This prevents the test to misbehave if IPv6 is not configured.

selftests: drv-net: Make command requirements explicit

2025-07-25T01:52:00Z

Make require_cmd() calls explicit about whether commands are needed locally, remotely, or both. Since require_cmd() defaults to local=True, tests should explicitly set local=False when commands are only needed remotely. - socat: Set local=False since it's only needed on remote hosts. - iperf3: Use single call with both local=True and remote=True since it's needed on both hosts. This avoids unnecessary test failures when commands are missing locally but available remotely where actually needed, and consolidates a duplicate require_cmd() call into single call that checks both hosts.

selftests: drv-net: Fix remote command checking in require_cmd()

2025-07-25T01:52:00Z

The require_cmd() method was checking for command availability locally even when remote=True was specified, due to a missing host parameter. Fix by passing host=self.remote when checking remote command availability, ensuring commands are verified on the correct host.

selftests: drv-net: wait for iperf client to stop sending

2025-07-24T01:52:12Z

A few packets may still be sent out during the termination of iperf processes. These late packets cause failures in rss_ctx.py when they arrive on queues expected to be empty. Example failure observed: Check failed 2 != 0 traffic on inactive queues (context 1): [0, 0, 1, 1, 386385, 397196, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...] Check failed 4 != 0 traffic on inactive queues (context 2): [0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 247152, 253013, 0, 0, ...] Check failed 2 != 0 traffic on inactive queues (context 3): [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 282434, 283070, ...] To avoid such failures, wait until all client sockets for the requested port are either closed or in the TIME_WAIT state.

selftests: drv-net: add helper/wrapper for bpftrace

2025-07-17T00:25:49Z

bpftrace is very useful for low level driver testing. perf or trace-cmd would also do for collecting data from tracepoints, but they require much more post-processing. Add a wrapper for running bpftrace and sanitizing its output. bpftrace has JSON output, which is great, but it prints loose objects and in a slightly inconvenient format. We have to read the objects line by line, and while at it return them indexed by the map name.

selftests: net: Add IPv6 support to netconsole basic tests

2025-07-08T01:52:57Z

Add IPv6 support to the netconsole basic functionality tests by: - Introducing separate IPv4 and IPv6 address variables (SRCIP4/SRCIP6, DSTIP4/DSTIP6) to replace the single SRCIP/DSTIP variables - Adding select_ipv4_or_ipv6() function to choose protocol version - Updating socat configuration to use UDP6-LISTEN for IPv6 tests - Adding wait_for_port() wrapper to handle protocol-specific port waiting - Expanding test matrix to run both basic and extended formats against both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols - Improving cleanup to kill any remaining socat processes - Adding sleep delays for better IPv6 packet handling reliability The test now validates netconsole functionality across both IP versions, improving test coverage for dual-stack network environments.

selftests: drv-net: Add test for devlink-rate traffic class bandwidth distribution

2025-07-02T22:39:06Z

This test suite validates the functionality of the devlink-rate API for traffic class (TC) bandwidth allocation. It ensures that bandwidth can be distributed between different traffic classes as configured, and verifies that explicit TC-to-queue mapping is required for the allocation to be effective. The first test (test_no_tc_mapping_bandwidth) is marked as expected failure on mlx5, since the hardware automatically enforces traffic class separation by dynamically moving queues to the correct TC scheduler, even without explicit TC-to-queue mapping configuration. Test output on mlx5: 1..2 # Created VF interface: eth5 # Created VLAN eth5.101 on eth5 with tc 3 and IP 198.51.100.2 # Created VLAN eth5.102 on eth5 with tc 4 and IP 198.51.100.10 # Set representor eth4 up and added to bridge # Bandwidth check results without TC mapping: # TC 3: 0.19 Gbits/sec # TC 4: 0.76 Gbits/sec # Total bandwidth: 0.95 Gbits/sec # TC 3 percentage: 20.0% # TC 4 percentage: 80.0% ok 1 devlink_rate_tc_bw.test_no_tc_mapping_bandwidth # XFAIL Bandwidth matched 80/20 split without TC mapping # Created VF interface: eth5 # Created VLAN eth5.101 on eth5 with tc 3 and IP 198.51.100.2 # Created VLAN eth5.102 on eth5 with tc 4 and IP 198.51.100.10 # Set representor eth4 up and added to bridge # Bandwidth check results with TC mapping: # TC 3: 0.21 Gbits/sec # TC 4: 0.78 Gbits/sec # Total bandwidth: 0.98 Gbits/sec # TC 3 percentage: 21.1% # TC 4 percentage: 78.9% # Bandwidth is distributed as 80/20 with TC mapping ok 2 devlink_rate_tc_bw.test_tc_mapping_bandwidth # Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:1 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 Signed-off-by: Carolina Jubran Reviewed-by: Cosmin Ratiu Reviewed-by: Nimrod Oren Signed-off-by: Mark Bloch Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250629142138.361537-9-mbloch@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
