Move MACsec offload API and ethtool feature tests from
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/netdevsim/macsec-offload.sh to
tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/macsec.py using the NetDrvEnv
framework so tests can run against both netdevsim (default) and real
hardware (NETIF=ethX). As some real hardware requires macsec to use
encryption, add that to the tests.
Netdevsim-specific limit checks (max SecY, max RX SC) were moved into
separate test cases to avoid failures on real hardware.
Finally, MACSEC was added as a config option to drivers/net/config.

Add macsec_traffic.py using NetDrvEpEnv to verify VLAN filter
propagation through offloaded macsec devices via actual traffic.
Test creates macsec tunnels with matching SAs on both endpoints,
stacks VLANs on top, and verifies connectivity with ping. Covers:
- Offloaded macsec with VLAN (filters propagate to HW)
- Software macsec with VLAN (no HW filter propagation)
- Toggle offload on/off and verify traffic still works
On netdevsim this is a smoke test (stub offload, no real encryption).
On real hardware this validates actual VLAN filter propagation.

VLAN-filtering is done through two netdev features
(NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_FILTER and NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_FILTER) and two
netdev ops (ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid and ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid).
Implement these and advertise the features if the lower device supports
them. This allows proper VLAN filtering to work on top of macsec
devices, when the lower device is capable of VLAN filtering.
As a concrete example, having this chain of interfaces now works:
vlan_filtering_capable_dev(1) -> macsec_dev(2) -> macsec_vlan_dev(3)
Before the mentioned commit this used to accidentally work because the
macsec device (and thus the lower device) was put in promiscuous mode
and the VLAN filter was not used. But after commit [1] correctly made
the macsec driver expose the IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag, promiscuous mode was
no longer used and VLAN filters on dev 1 kicked in. Without support in
dev 2 for propagating VLAN filters down, the register_vlan_dev ->
vlan_vid_add -> __vlan_vid_add -> vlan_add_rx_filter_info call from dev
3 is silently eaten (because vlan_hw_filter_capable returns false and
vlan_add_rx_filter_info silently succeeds).
For macsec, VLAN filters are only relevant for offload, otherwise
the VLANs are encrypted and the lower devices don't care about them. So
VLAN filters are only passed on to lower devices in offload mode.
Flipping between offload modes now needs to offload/unoffload the
filters with vlan_{get,drop}_rx_*_filter_info().
To avoid the back-and-forth filter updating during rollback, the setting
of macsec->offload is moved after the add/del secy ops. This is safe
since none of the code called from those requires macsec->offload.

Why not? Being able to test without accessing real HW is still useful.

The tests now send macsec traffic over VLANs and nsim, it's just that
nsim doesn't deal with VLAN filters at all and there are no stubbed
vlan filters in debugfs, since real hw doesn't have that interface.

Since netdevsim doesn't deal with VLAN filters at all, the "tests
should be written so that they can run both against ``netdevsim`` and
a real device" bit of the docs doesn't fully apply here?
Anyway, I think the original tests had value, even if they're more
limited in some ways than traffic tests. HW/driver behavior could be
hiding problems in the stack with VLAN propagation, those simpler
tests don't have that risk.

To be clear running the HW test without NETIF= should provide
similar functionality to what the old tests could do. It's entirely
okay to add netdevsim-specific subtests/test cases or asserts.
Is there anything specific that you'd like to be tested?
Let's not make this about HW tests vs nsim-only tests.

In v2/v3, nsim was exposing a debugfs file that contained the list of
VLAN filters on that interface, and the selftest was grepping through
that file to check if the correct entry was added/removed after each
operation. I see that as testing the actual propagation of filters,
while the traffic tests check the visible behavior of stack+driver+HW,
which may not be correlated to actual propagation.
> Let's not make this about HW tests vs nsim-only tests.
That was not my intention. But since nsim doesn't currently implement
VLAN filters, it seems running the HW test on nsim doesn't test
anything at all.

The problem with using the nsim-only VLAN filter debugfs is that it's a
test-only interface for figuring out a property of the stack. Real HW
doesn't have that interface and thus the tests actually have to
generate traffic to ensure VLANs are propagated.
The new VLAN tests don't actually ensure anything on nsim, given that
it doesn't support VLANs. But on real HW they do - without the last
patch, the new tests fail on any hw supporting VLANs and MACsec.
Adding back the nsim debugfs file and test assertions guarded by "if
cfg._ns" would ensure filter propagation correctness, but would feel
non-Pythonic and a little hacky given that the same assertion can't
work on real HW.
So what would you like to happen? Bring back nsim patches + nsim-
specific test assertions?

Well, they ensure that something in the stack+driver+HW combination is
doing something that lets traffic go through. It's useful, but we can
learn something extra from netdevsim.

I think that's fine. The tests are anyway python wrappers around
iproute commands, it's neither "Pythonic" nor pretty.
Jakub, any objection?

Yes, IMO that would be best.

No objections, I already added this nasty little piece of code in gro.py
try:
# Disable TSO for local tests
cfg.require_nsim() # will raise KsftXfailEx if not running on nsim
_set_ethtool_feat(cfg.remote_ifname, cfg.remote_feat,
{"tcp-segmentation-offload": False},
host=cfg.remote)
except KsftXfailEx:
pass
I agree with Cosmin that the check feels a bit non-Pythonic. Dunno
if the try except ends up being any better tho :S
Let's not use "if cfg._ns" tho, please add a method that will return
true / false (or feel free to come up with a cleaner way if you can
think of it). We definitely don't want to encourage nsim-only checks,
if you add new methods please mention in their documentation that we
strongly prefer if the authors can think of a way to prove correctness
that would also work on real HW.
