2021-08-26selftests/net: allow GRO coalesce test on vethPaolo Abeni1-36/+7
This change extends the existing GRO coalesce test to allow running on top of a veth pair, so that no H/W dep is required to run them. By default gro.sh will use the veth backend, and will try to use exiting H/W in loopback mode if a specific device name is provided with the '-i' command line option. No functional change is intended for the loopback-based tests, just move all the relevant initialization/cleanup code into the related script. Introduces a new initialization helper script for the veth backend, and plugs the correct helper script according to the provided command line. Additionally, enable veth-based tests by default. v1 -> v2: - drop unused code in setup_veth_ns() - Willem Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-08-05selftests/net: GRO coalesce testCoco Li1-0/+128
Implement a GRO testsuite that expects Linux kernel GRO behavior. All tests pass with the kernel software GRO stack. Run against a device with hardware GRO to verify that it matches the software stack. gro.c generates packets and sends them out through a packet socket. The receiver in gro.c (run separately) receives the packets on a packet socket, filters them by destination ports using BPF and checks the packet geometry to see whether GRO was applied. gro.sh provides a wrapper to run the gro.c in NIC loopback mode. It is not included in continuous testing because it modifies network configuration around a physical NIC: gro.sh sets the NIC in loopback mode, creates macvlan devices on the physical device in separate namespaces, and sends traffic generated by gro.c between the two namespaces to observe coalescing behavior. GRO coalescing is time sensitive. Some tests may prove flaky on some hardware. Note that this test suite tests for software GRO unless hardware GRO is enabled (ethtool -K $DEV rx-gro-hw on). To test, run ./gro.sh. The wrapper will output success or failed test names, and generate log.txt and stderr. Sample log.txt result: ... pure data packet of same size: Test succeeded large data packets followed by a smaller one: Test succeeded small data packets followed by a larger one: Test succeeded ... Sample stderr result: ... carrier ready running test ipv4 data Expected {200 }, Total 1 packets Received {200 }, Total 1 packets. ...
