Subject: [PATCH v7 net-next 0/3] Enhance network interface feature testing

This small series includes fixes for creation of veth pairs for
networkless kernels & adds tests for turning the different network
interface features on and off in selftests/net/netdevice.sh script.

Changes in v7:
Create a third patch in the series to do SKIP -> XFAIL replacement.
Add logic to incorporate XFAIL on setting IP address for veth pair.

Changes in v6:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240814191517.50466-1-jain.abhinav177@gmail.com

Use XFAIL for ethtool operations that are unsupported instead of SKIP.

Changes in v5:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240808122452.25683-1-jain.abhinav177@gmail.com

Rectify the syntax for ip add link.
Fix the veth_created condition check.

Changes in v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240807175717.7775-1-jain.abhinav177@gmail.com

Move veth creation/removal to the main shell script.
Tested using vng on a networkless kernel and the script works, sample
output below the changes.

Changes in v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240614113240.41550-1-jain.abhinav177@gmail.com

Add a check for netdev, create veth pair for testing.
Restore feature to its initial state.

Changes in v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240609132124.51683-1-jain.abhinav177@gmail.com

Remove tail usage; use read to parse the features from temp file.

v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240606212714.27472-1-jain.abhinav177@gmail.com

```
# selftests: net: netdevice.sh
# No valid network device found, creating veth pair
# PASS: veth0: set interface up
# PASS: veth0: set MAC address
# XFAIL: veth0: set IP address
# PASS: veth0: ethtool list features
# PASS: veth0: Turned off feature: rx-checksumming
# PASS: veth0: Turned on feature: rx-checksumming
# PASS: veth0: Restore feature rx-checksumming to initial state on
# Actual changes:
# tx-checksum-ip-generic: off
# tx-tcp-segmentation: off [not requested]


# PASS: veth0: Turned off feature: rx-udp-gro-forwarding
# PASS: veth0: Turned on feature: rx-udp-gro-forwarding
# PASS: veth0: Restore feature rx-udp-gro-forwarding to initial state off
# Cannot get register dump: Operation not supported
# XFAIL: veth0: ethtool dump not supported
# PASS: veth0: ethtool stats
# PASS: veth0: stop interface
```

Abhinav Jain (3):
  selftests: net: Create veth pair for testing in networkless kernel
  selftests: net: Add on/off checks for non-fixed features of interface
  selftests: net: Use XFAIL for operations not supported by the driver
