selftests: drv-net: Strip '@' prefix from bpftrace map keys

2025-07-17T00:25:49Z

The '@' prefix in bpftrace map keys is specific to bpftrace and can be safely removed when processing results. This patch modifies the bpftrace utility to strip the '@' from map keys before storing them in the result dictionary, making the keys more consistent with Python conventions.

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: drv-net-hw: Add a test for symmetric RSS hash

2025-02-26T02:31:05Z

Add a selftest that verifies symmetric RSS hash is working as intended. The test runs iterations of traffic, swapping the src/dst UDP ports, and verifies that the same RX queue is receiving the traffic in both cases.

Instead of guessing a port and checking whether it's available, get an available port from the OS. Reviewed-by: Nimrod Oren Signed-off-by: Gal Pressman Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250224174416.499070-4-gal@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

selftests: drv-net: add a way to wait for a local process

2025-02-21T01:58:25Z

We use wait_port_listen() extensively to wait for a process we spawned to be ready. Not all processes will open listening sockets. Add a method of explicitly waiting for a child to be ready. Pass a FD to the spawned process and wait for it to write a message to us. FD number is passed via KSFT_READY_FD env variable. Similarly use KSFT_WAIT_FD to let the child process for a sign that we are done and child should exit. Sending a signal to a child with shell=True can get tricky. Make use of this method in the queues test to make it less flaky.

selftests: drv-net: add a warning for bkg + shell + terminate

2025-02-21T01:57:29Z

Joe Damato reports that some shells will fork before running the command when python does "sh -c $cmd", while bash on my machine does an exec of $cmd directly. This will have implications for our ability to terminate the child process on various configurations of bash and other shells. Warn about using bkg(... shell=True, termininate=True) most background commands can hopefully exit cleanly (exit_wait).

selftests: drv-net: assume stats refresh is 0 if no ethtool -c support

2024-12-23T18:12:20Z

Tests using HW stats wait for them to stabilize, using data from ethtool -c as the delay. Not all drivers implement ethtool -c so handle the errors gracefully.

selftests: drv-net: add ability to schedule cleanup with defer()

2024-06-29T01:39:39Z

This implements what I was describing in [1]. When writing a test author can schedule cleanup / undo actions right after the creation completes, eg: cmd("touch /tmp/file") defer(cmd, "rm /tmp/file") defer() takes the function name as first argument, and the rest are arguments for that function. defer()red functions are called in inverse order after test exits. It's also possible to capture them and execute earlier (in which case they get automatically de-queued). undo = defer(cmd, "rm /tmp/file") # ... some unsafe code ... undo.exec() As a nice safety all exceptions from defer()ed calls are captured, printed, and ignored (they do make the test fail, however). This addresses the common problem of exceptions in cleanup paths often being unhandled, leading to potential leaks. There is a global action queue, flushed by ksft_run(). We could support function level defers too, I guess, but there's no immediate need..
