[PATCH net-next 0/7] hardware pacing offload

[Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>]

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

Enable safe hardware pacing offload on a first device (idpf), plus support.

- Add ethtool support for admin control over the device feature
- Add device support to the idpf driver

Besides the main feature, also

- Small optimization to FQ offload: avoid unnecessary ktime_.._get().
- Expand so_txtime drv-net test with hw offload testcases.
- Expand pktgen with txtime feature.

Details in the individual patches.

  selftests: drv-net: refactor so_txtime errqueue handling
  selftests: drv-net: in so_txtime tell apart sw from hw pacing
  selftests: drv-net: extend so_txtime with hw offload
  net: pktgen: add support for SO_TXTIME
