Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] selftests: net: veth: test peer ndo-xmit after GRO toggle while down
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 18:32:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006173241.65945-3-tianyi@cloudflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006173241.65945-1-tianyi@cloudflare.com>
Test that toggling GRO on a veth device while it is down updates the
peer's ndo-xmit XDP feature once the device comes up, for both GRO on
and GRO off.
xdp-features is only visible through netlink, so read it with the ynl
CLI, as double_udp_encap.sh does. Skip the checks if the CLI is not
found, as in an installed kselftest tree.
Signed-off-by: Tianyi Gao <tianyi@cloudflare.com>

This commit only covers the peer's ndo-xmit flag. Paolo asked for
selftests on the device's own XDP features when commit 7a6102aa6df0
("veth: Update XDP feature set when bringing up device") was applied
[1], which refreshes them in veth_open(); those are out of scope here.
