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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
