selftests/net: Add additional test coverage in nk_qlease

2026-04-14T15:17:02Z

Add further netkit queue-lease coverage for netns lifecycle of the guest and physical halves, channel resize across active leases, single-device and multi-lessee scenarios, L3 mode operation, lease capacity exhaustion, and corner-cases of e.g. queue-create rejection paths. Also make the tests more robust by removing the time.sleep(0.1) after netns deletion and turn them into a wait loop.

selftests/net: Split netdevsim tests from HW tests in nk_qlease

2026-04-14T15:17:01Z

As pointed out in 3d2c3d2eea9a ("selftests: net: py: explicitly forbid multiple ksft_run() calls"), ksft_run() cannot be called multiple times. Move the netdevsim-based queue lease tests to selftests/net/ so that each file has exactly one ksft_run() call. The HW tests (io_uring ZC RX, queue attrs, XDP with MP, destroy) remain in selftests/drivers/net/hw/.

selftests: net: Add test for enablement of ports with teamd

2026-04-13T13:09:49Z

There are no tests that verify enablement and disablement of team driver ports with teamd. This should work even with changes to the enablement option, so it is important to test. This test sets up an active-backup network configuration across two network namespaces, and tries to send traffic while changing which link is the active one. Also increase the team test timeout to 300 seconds, because gracefully killing teamd can take 30 seconds for each instance.

selftests: net: Add tests for failover of team-aggregated ports

2026-04-13T13:09:49Z

There are currently no kernel tests that verify the effect of setting the enabled team driver option. In a followup patch, there will be changes to this option, so it will be important to make sure it still behaves as it does now. The test verifies that tcp continues to work across two different team devices in separate network namespaces, even when member links are manually disabled.

selftests: net: py: add test case filtering and listing

2026-04-12T16:09:09Z

When developing new test cases and reproducing failures in existing ones we currently have to run the entire test which can take minutes to finish. Add command line options for test selection, modeled after kselftest_harness.h: -l list tests (filtered, if filters were specified) -t name include test -T name exclude test Since we don't have as clean separation into fixture / variant / test as kselftest_harness this is not really a 1 to 1 match. We have to lean on glob patterns instead. Like in kselftest_harness filters are evaluated in order, first match wins. If only exclusions are specified everything else is included and vice versa. Glob patterns (*, ?, [) are supported in addition to exact matching.

selftests: net: add bridge STP mode selection test

2026-04-10T22:52:25Z

Add a selftest for the IFLA_BR_STP_MODE bridge attribute that verifies: 1. stp_mode defaults to auto on new bridges 2. stp_mode can be toggled between user, kernel, and auto 3. Changing stp_mode while STP is active is rejected with -EBUSY 4. Re-setting the same stp_mode while STP is active succeeds 5. stp_mode user in a network namespace yields userspace STP (stp_state=2) 6. stp_mode kernel forces kernel STP (stp_state=1) 7. stp_mode auto in a netns preserves traditional fallback to kernel STP 8. stp_mode and stp_state can be set atomically in a single message 9. stp_mode persists across STP disable/enable cycles Test 5 is the key use case: it demonstrates that userspace STP can now be enabled in non-init network namespaces by setting stp_mode to user before enabling STP. Test 8 verifies the atomic usage pattern where both attributes are set in a single netlink message, which is supported because br_changelink() processes IFLA_BR_STP_MODE before IFLA_BR_STP_STATE. The test gracefully skips if the installed iproute2 does not support the stp_mode attribute.

selftests: net: py: explicitly forbid multiple ksft_run() calls

2026-04-10T03:38:33Z

People (do people still write code or is it all AI?) seem to not get that ksft_run() can only be called once. If we call it multiple times KTAP parsers will likely cut off after the first batch has finished. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260408221952.819822-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

The piece of code which processes the command line arguments and populates NETIFS based on them is really unobvious. Rewrite it so that the intention is clear and the code is easy to follow.
