The rss_ctx test has gotten pretty flaky after I increased
the queue count in NIPA 2->3. Not 100% clear why. We get
a lot of failures in the rss_ctx.test_hitless_key_update case.
Looking closer it appears that the failures are mostly due
to startup costs. I measured the following timing for ethtool -X:
- python cmd(shell=True) : 150-250msec
- python cmd(shell=False) : 50- 70msec
- timed in bash : 45- 55msec
- YNL Netlink call : 2- 4msec
- .set_rxfh callback : 1- 2msec
The target in the test was set to 200msec. We were mostly measuring
ethtool startup cost it seems. Switch to YNL since it's 100x faster.
Lower the pass criteria to 150msec, no real science behind this number
but we removed some overhead, drivers which previously passed 200msec
should easily pass 150msec now.
Separately we should probably follow up on defaulting to shell=False,
when script doesn't explicitly ask for True, because the overhead
is rather significant.
Switch from _rss_key_rand() to random.randbytes(), YNL takes a binary
array rather than array of ints.

This patch improves the utils.py module by removing unused imports
(errno, random), simplifying the fd_read_timeout() function by
eliminating unnecessary else clause, and cleaning up code style in the
defer class constructor.
Additionally, it renames the parameter in rand_port() from 'type' to
'stype' to avoid shadowing the built-in Python name 'type', improving
code clarity and preventing potential issues.
These changes enhance code readability and maintainability without
affecting functionality.

Jakub says:
nft_flowtable.sh is one of the most flake-atious test for netdev CI currently :(
The root cause is two-fold:
1. the failing part of the test is supposed to make sure that ip
fragments are forwarded for offloaded flows.
(flowtable has to pass them to classic forward path).
path mtu discovery for these subtests is disabled.
2. nft_flowtable.sh has two passes. One with fixed mtus/file size and
one where link mtus and file sizes are random.
The CI failures all have same pattern:
re-run with random mtus and file size: -o 27663 -l 4117 -r 10089 -s 54384840
[..]
PASS: dscp_egress: dscp packet counters match
FAIL: file mismatch for ns1 -> ns2
In some cases this error triggers a bit ealier, sometimes in a later
subtest:
re-run with random mtus and file size: -o 20201 -l 4555 -r 12657 -s 9405856
[..]
PASS: dscp_egress: dscp packet counters match
PASS: dscp_fwd: dscp packet counters match
2025/08/17 20:37:52 socat[18954] E write(7, 0x560716b96000, 8192): Broken pipe
FAIL: file mismatch for ns1 -> ns2
-rw------- 1 root root 9405856 Aug 17 20:36 /tmp/tmp.2n63vlTrQe
But all logs I saw show same scenario:
1. Failing tests have pmtu discovery off (i.e., ip fragmentation)
2. The test file is much larger than first-pass default (2M Byte)
3. peers have much larger MTUs compared to the 'network'.
These errors are very reproducible when re-running the test with
the same commandline arguments.
The timeout became much more prominent with
1d2fbaad7c ("tcp: stronger sk_rcvbuf checks"): reassembled packets
typically have a skb->truesize more than double the skb length.
As that commit is intentional and pmtud-off with
large-tcp-packets-as-fragments is not normal adjust the test to use a
smaller file for the pmtu-off subtests.
While at it, add more information to pass/fail messages and
also run the dscp alteration subtest with pmtu discovery enabled.

Add a new command line option --no_ublk_fixed_fd that excludes the ublk
control device (/dev/ublkcN) from io_uring's registered files array.
When this option is used, only backing files are registered starting
from index 1, while the ublk control device is accessed using its raw
file descriptor.
Add ublk_get_registered_fd() helper function that returns the appropriate
file descriptor for use with io_uring operations.
Key optimizations implemented:
- Cache UBLKS_Q_NO_UBLK_FIXED_FD flag in ublk_queue.flags to avoid
reading dev->no_ublk_fixed_fd in fast path
- Cache ublk char device fd in ublk_queue.ublk_fd for fast access
- Update ublk_get_registered_fd() to use ublk_queue * parameter
- Update io_uring_prep_buf_register/unregister() to use ublk_queue *
- Replace ublk_device * access with ublk_queue * access in fast paths
Also pass --no_ublk_fixed_fd to test_stress_04.sh for covering
plain ublk char device mode.

When a packet flood hits one or more UDP sockets, many cpus
have to update sk->sk_drops.
This slows down other cpus, because currently
sk_drops is in sock_write_rx group.
Add a socket_drop_counters structure to udp sockets.
Using dedicated cache lines to hold drop counters
makes sure that consumers no longer suffer from
false sharing if/when producers only change sk->sk_drops.
This adds 128 bytes per UDP socket.
Tested with the following stress test, sending about 11 Mpps
to a dual socket AMD EPYC 7B13 64-Core.
super_netperf 20 -t UDP_STREAM -H DUT -l10 -- -n -P,1000 -m 120
Note: due to socket lookup, only one UDP socket is receiving
packets on DUT.
Then measure receiver (DUT) behavior. We can see both
consumer and BH handlers can process more packets per second.

Add a test for ensuring that the dst hint mechanism is used for

This test relies on mausezahn for sending directed broadcast packets.
Additionally, a high GRO flush timeout is set to ensure that packets
will be received as lists.
The test determines if the hint mechanism was used by checking
the in_brd statistic using lnstat.

Some rtnetlink selftests assume the presence of ifconfig and iproute2
support for the `proto` keyword in `ip address` commands. These
assumptions can cause test failures on modern systems (e.g. Debian
Bookworm) where:
- ifconfig is not installed by default
- The iproute2 version lacks support for address protocol
This patch improves test robustness by:
- Skipping kci_test_promote_secondaries if ifconfig is missing
- Skipping do_test_address_proto if ip address help does not mention
proto
These changes ensure the tests degrade gracefully by reporting SKIP
instead of FAIL when prerequisites are not met, improving portability
across systems.

Kernel tries to be helpful and attach the XDP program in generic
mode if the driver has no BPF ndo at all. Since the xdp.py tests
all have "native" in their names this can be quite confusing.
Force native / "drv" attachment. Note that netdevsim re-uses
the generic handler as its "native" handler, so we'll maintain
the test coverage of the generic mode that way. No need to test
both explicitly, I reckon.

recover from mdstat or sysfs
- Improve file size detection for loop, particularly for networked
file systems, by using getattr to get the size rather than the
cached inode size.
- Hotplug CPU lock vs queue freeze fix
- Lockdep fix while updating the number of hardware queues
- Fix stacking for PI devices
- Silence bio_check_eod() for the known case of device removal where
the size is truncated to 0 sectors"

Pull misc fixes from Andrew Morton:
"20 hotfixes. 10 are cc:stable and the remainder address post-6.16
issues or aren't considered necessary for -stable kernels. 17 of these
fixes are for MM.
As usual, singletons all over the place, apart from a three-patch
series of KHO followup work from Pasha which is actually also a bunch
of singletons"

The ARM64_FEATURE_MASK() macro was a hack introduce whilst the
automatic generation of sysreg encoding was introduced, and was
too unreliable to be entirely trusted.
We are in a better place now, and we could really do without this
macro. Get rid of it altogether.
