Jiri Pirko says: ==================== selftests: virtio_net: introduce initial testing infrastructure This patchset aims at introducing very basic initial infrastructure for virtio_net testing, namely it focuses on virtio feature testing. The first patch adds support for debugfs for virtio devices, allowing user to filter features to pretend to be driver that is not capable of the filtered feature. Example: $ cat /sys/bus/virtio/devices/virtio0/features 1110010111111111111101010000110010000000100000000000000000000000 $ echo "5" >/sys/kernel/debug/virtio/virtio0/filter_feature_add $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/virtio/virtio0/filter_features 5 $ echo "virtio0" > /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_net/unbind $ echo "virtio0" > /sys/bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_net/bind $ cat /sys/bus/virtio/devices/virtio0/features 1110000111111111111101010000110010000000100000000000000000000000 Leverage that in the last patch that lays ground for virtio_net selftests testing, including very basic F_MAC feature test. To run this, do: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=drivers/net/virtio_net/ run_tests It is assumed, as with lot of other selftests in the net group, that there are netdevices connected back-to-back. In this case, two virtio_net devices connected back to back. If you use "tap" qemu netdevice type, to configure this loop on a hypervisor, one may use this script: DEV1="$1" DEV2="$2" sudo tc qdisc add dev $DEV1 clsact sudo tc qdisc add dev $DEV2 clsact sudo tc filter add dev $DEV1 ingress protocol all pref 1 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev $DEV2 sudo tc filter add dev $DEV2 ingress protocol all pref 1 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev $DEV1 sudo ip link set $DEV1 up sudo ip link set $DEV2 up Another possibility is to use virtme-ng like this: $ vng --network=loop or directly: $ vng --network=loop -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS=drivers/net/virtio_net/ run_tests "loop" network type will take care of creating two "hubport" qemu netdevs putting them into a single hub. To do it manually with qemu, pass following command line options: -nic hubport,hubid=1,id=nd0,model=virtio-net-pci -nic hubport,hubid=1,id=nd1,model=virtio-net-pci ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240424104049.3935572-1-jiri@resnulli.us Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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.
