Subject: [PATCH net] selftests/net: test network sysctl extremes
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 21:23:39 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012155339.3799130-1-sahaj123.sc@gmail.com> (raw)
Probe accepted bounds for writable network sysctls and exercise
TCP and UDP loopback traffic at each bound. Test representative
per-network-namespace TCP/UDP settings by default, with options to
select from the set or scan all writable numeric network sysctls
for diagnostics.
Tested: Focused selftest build and CLI checks. QEMU on rebuilt Linux
7.3.0-rc7 passed default mode (4 sysctls/8 values, TCP 16/16, UDP
16/16), selected tcp_rmem mode (TCP and UDP 6/6), and --all mode
(497 sysctls/503 values, TCP 1005/1006, UDP 1006/1006). The exhaustive
run had one TCP EAGAIN at tcp_notsent_lowat[0]=0. On an AArch64 Linux
6.12.57 board, default mode (4 sysctls/8 values) met aggregate criteria
(TCP 15/16, UDP 16/16), with one TCP timeout at tcp_rmem[1]=1. No
kernel splats were found.
