[PATCH net-next 10/11] selftests: drv-net: add primary_rx_redirect support to NetDrvContEnv

Bobby Eshleman
2026-04-28T22:42:26Z

When sending from a namespace that has access to a netkit device with a
leased queue, the nk primary in the host namespace needs to redirect its
RX to the physical device. This patch adds that redirection bpf program
and teaches the harness to install it.

Add primary_rx_redirect=False parameter to NetDrvContEnv.__init__().
When enabled, _attach_primary_rx_redirect_bpf() attaches a new BPF TC
program (nk_primary_rx_redirect.bpf.c) to the primary (host-side) netkit
interface. The program redirects non-ICMPv6 IPv6 packets to the
physical NIC via bpf_redirect_neigh(), with the physical ifindex
configured via the .bss map.

Extract _find_bss_map_id() from _attach_bpf() into a reusable helper so
other BPF attachment methods can use it.

Also add an IPv6 host route on the remote endpoint for the netkit guest
IP via the physical NIC address, so the remote can send packets that
traverse the redirect path to the guest.
