Subject: [PATCH net v2 4/4] selftests: net: hsr: add GRO super-packet forwarding test
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 18:12:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724161253.79-5-xiexinet@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724161253.79-1-xiexinet@gmail.com>
Add a test exercising the HSR forward path with GSO super-packets:
a TSO-enabled SAN behind the interlink streams TCP through an HSR
DUT to a peer node. The test verifies that:
* enslaved devices have GRO and HW-GRO disabled automatically,
* the HSR master does not advertise GSO/TSO features (including
tx-tcp6/udp/gso-list, to catch future hw_features leaks),
* super-packets really leave the SAN (TX average frame size above a
fixed threshold) while bulk output on the DUT's LAN legs stays at
per-frame size — aggregate counter evidence that GSO enters the
forward path and is unfolded at the forward entry. Zero TCP
retransmits is reported as a secondary health signal.
The one-shot iperf3 server lives in a private mktemp -d workdir
(mode 0700): its exact PID is retained only after numeric, alive,
comm==iperf3 and netns-membership checks, its real exit status is
propagated through an rc file, and cleanup kills by exact PID with a
bounded wrapper reap plus a namespace-scoped iperf3 sweep. Server
startup failure, client failure and a never-published PID are all
bounded exits with no process or directory leaks. Environments whose
iproute2 lacks the HSR interlink syntax are skipped with ksft_skip.
Without this series the feature checks fail, and on drivers that hand
GRO super-packets to the HSR receive path the stream degrades or
stalls.

+# Test HSR handling of GRO/GSO super-packets:

+# 1. Enslaving a device to an HSR master disables GRO on it
+# (dev_disable_gro()).
+# 2. The HSR master does not advertise GSO/TSO features.
+# 3. A TCP stream from a TSO-enabled SAN (which therefore emits GSO
+# super-packets) is unfolded at the HSR forward entry. Evidence:
+# interface-counter deltas show super-packet-sized frames leaving
+# the SAN and per-frame-sized traffic leaving the DUT's LAN ports.
