Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/4] net: net_test: add tests for bounded GSO segmentation
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:46:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918084651.3022878-5-wang.zhan@smartx.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918084651.3022878-1-wang.zhan@smartx.com>
The GSO engine can now be asked to bound the number of MSS segments which
go into each output skb. Add KUnit coverage for the bound itself and for a
TCP skb segmented with one.
The parameterized GSO test gains a max_segs input and three cases: a bound
which splits the skb into two outputs, one which spans three outputs, and
a bound of a single MSS, which must leave the ungrouped output of the
unbounded path in place. Output skbs which remain GSO skbs carry the
original gso_size and no more than max_segs segments. It drives
skb_segment() directly, because the synthetic protocol it uses has no
gso_segment callback, and stores the bound in the GSO control block
itself.
The TCP test drives __skb_gso_segment() with a bound of two MSS and checks
that every output skb stays GSO, keeps its gso_size, and stays within the
bound.
The limit test checks that the GSO size limit which netif_skb_features()
applies follows the packet's L3 protocol, also after validate_xmit_vlan()
has pushed the VLAN tag inside the skb and skb->protocol is the VLAN
ethertype. It contrasts the two ways the IPv4 and IPv6 limits can be
skewed, and the skb with and without the tag.

v2:
- wrap the .frags/.segs initializers and the two header macros to 80 columns
- use KUNIT_ASSERT_TRUE() for the __be16 check, EQ warns in sparse
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20260917063854.2011613-5-wang.zhan@smartx.com/
