WireGuard has been using this on build.wireguard.com for the last
several years with considerable success. It allows for very quick and
iterative development cycles, and supports several platforms.
To run the test suite on your current platform in QEMU:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu -j$(nproc)
To run it with KASAN and such turned on:
$ DEBUG_KERNEL=yes make -C tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu -j$(nproc)
To run it emulated for another platform in QEMU:
$ ARCH=arm make -C tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu -j$(nproc)
At the moment, we support aarch64_be, aarch64, arm, armeb, i686, m68k,
mips64, mips64el, mips, mipsel, powerpc64le, powerpc, and x86_64.
The system supports incremental rebuilding, so it should be very fast to
change a single file and then test it out and have immediate feedback.
This requires for the right toolchain and qemu to be installed prior.
I've had success with those from musl.cc.
This is tailored for WireGuard at the moment, though later projects
might generalize it for other network testing.

====================
Simplify IPv4 route offload API
Motivation
==========
The aim of this patch set is to simplify the IPv4 route offload API by
making the stack a bit smarter about the notifications it is generating.
This allows driver authors to focus on programming the underlying device
instead of having to duplicate the IPv4 route insertion logic in their
driver, which is error-prone.
This is the first patch set out of a series of four. Subsequent patch
sets will simplify the IPv6 API, add offload/trap indication to routes
and add tests for all the code paths (including error paths). Available
here [1].
Details
=======
Today, whenever an IPv4 route is added or deleted a notification is sent
in the FIB notification chain and it is up to offload drivers to decide
if the route should be programmed to the hardware or not. This is not an
easy task as in hardware routes are keyed by {prefix, prefix length,
table id}, whereas the kernel can store multiple such routes that only
differ in metric / TOS / nexthop info.
This series makes sure that only routes that are actually used in the
data path are notified to offload drivers. This greatly simplifies the
work these drivers need to do, as they are now only concerned with
programming the hardware and do not need to replicate the IPv4 route
insertion logic and store multiple identical routes.
The route that is notified is the first FIB alias in the FIB node with
the given {prefix, prefix length, table ID}. In case the route is
deleted and there is another route with the same key, a replace
notification is emitted. Otherwise, a delete notification is emitted.
The above means that in the case of multiple routes with the same key,
but different TOS, only the route with the highest TOS is notified.
While the kernel can route a packet based on its TOS, this is not
supported by any hardware devices I am familiar with. Moreover, this is
not supported by IPv6 nor by BIRD/FRR from what I could see. Offload
drivers should therefore use the presence of a non-zero TOS as an
indication to trap packets matching the route and let the kernel route
them instead. mlxsw has been doing it for the past two years.
Testing
=======
To ensure there is no degradation in route insertion rates, I averaged
the insertion rate of 512k routes (/24 and /32) over 50 runs. Did not
observe any degradation.
Functional tests are available here [1]. They rely on route trap
indication, which is only added in the last patch set.
In addition, I have been running syzkaller for the past week with all
four patch sets and debug options enabled. Did not observe any problems.

With the new notifications mlxsw does not need to handle identical

from the device.

The SO_TXTIME test depends on accurate timers. In some virtualized
environments the test has been reported to be flaky. This is easily
reproduced by disabling kvm acceleration in Qemu.
Allow greater variance in a run and retry to further reduce flakiness.
Observed errors are one of two kinds: either the packet arrives too
early or late at recv(), or it was dropped in the qdisc itself and the
recv() call times out.
In the latter case, the qdisc queues a notification to the error
queue of the send socket. Also explicitly report this cause.

This commit moves the 802.3ad bitfield definitions to uapi.
