Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next] selftests: forwarding: add a test for MAC Merge layer

The MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99) does all the heavy
lifting for Frame Preemption (IEEE 802.1Q-2018 clause 6.7.2), a TSN
feature for minimizing latency.

Preemptible traffic is different on the wire from normal traffic in
incompatible ways. If we send a preemptible packet and the link partner
doesn't support preemption, it will drop it as an error frame and we
will never know. The MAC Merge layer has a control plane of its own,
which can be manipulated (using ethtool) in order to negotiate this
capability with the link partner (through LLDP).

Actually the TLV format for LLDP solves this problem only partly,
because both partners only advertise:
- if they support preemption (RX and TX)
- if they have enabled preemption (TX)
so we cannot tell the link partner what to do - we cannot force it to
enable reception of our preemptible packets.

That is fully solved by the verification feature, where the local device
generates some small probe frames which look like preemptible frames
with no useful content, and the link partner is obliged to respond to
them if it supports the standard. If the verification times out, we know
that preemption isn't active in our TX direction on the link.

Having clarified the definition, this selftest exercises the manual
(ethtool) configuration path of 2 link partners (with and without
verification), and the LLDP code path, using the openlldp project.

This is not really a "forwarding" selftest, but I put it near the other
"ethtool" selftests.

Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

This is more for the sake of the discussion, because neither the ethtool
nor the openlldp changes for MM were accepted yet.

Not sure if this is the best way to integrate lldpad into a kselftest,
given the fact that systemd starts it with a persistent configuration
file.
