Subject: [RFC net-next v2 5/5] selftests: drv-net: measure devmem performance with kperf
Date: Mon,  5 Oct 2026 13:11:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005201115.2690830-6-sdf@fomichev.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261005201115.2690830-1-sdf@fomichev.me>

Add a separate udmabuf-backed devmem performance test using KperfRunner.
Keep correctness cases in drivers/net/hw. Skip the test when kperf or
/dev/udmabuf is missing, and fail it when the kperf run fails.

Example metric output:

  # # ktap-metric-policy-json: {"display_label":"Gbps","name":"throughput","regression":{"better":"higher","compare":"p50","relative_tolerance":0.05},"summarize":"p50"}
  # # ktap-metric-policy-json: {"name":"tcp.retransmits","summarize":"max"}
  # # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"remote","name":"throughput","time":29.786267,"type":"scalar","value":389.29900000000004}
  # # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"remote","name":"tcp.retransmits","time":29.786286,"type":"scalar","value":698}
  # # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"local","name":"throughput","time":29.786289,"type":"scalar","value":388.772}
  # # ktap-metric-json: {"host":"local","name":"tcp.retransmits","time":29.78629,"type":"scalar","value":0}
