Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 2/2] selftests: virtio_net: add buffer circulation test
Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 11:36:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260204193617.1200752-3-vishs@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260204193617.1200752-1-vishs@meta.com>

Add iperf3-based test to verify RX buffer handling under load.
Optionally logs page_pool tracepoints when available.
