Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 00/10] seltests/xsk: various improvements to xskxceiver


This patch set implements several improvements to the xsk selftests
test suite that I thought were useful while debugging the xsk
multi-buffer code and tests. The largest new feature is the ability to
be able to execute a single test instead of the whole test suite. This
required some surgery on the current code, details below.

Anatomy of the path set:

1: Print useful info on a per packet basis with the option -v

2: Add a timeout in the transmission loop too. We only used to have
   one for the Rx thread, but Tx can lock up too waiting for
   completions.

3: Add an option (-m) to only run the tests (or a single test with a
   later patch) in a single mode: skb, drv, or zc (zero-copy).

4-5: Preparatory patches to be able to specify a test to run. Need to
     define the test names in a single structure and their entry
     points, so we can use this when wanting to run a specific test.

6: Adds a command line option (-l) that lists all the tests.

7: Adds a command line option (-t) that runs a specific test instead
   of the whole test suite. Can be combined with -m to specify a
   single mode too.

8: Use ksft_print_msg() uniformly throughout the tests. It was a mix
   of printf() and ksft_print_msg() before.

9: In some places, we failed the whole test suite instead of a single
   test in certain circumstances. Fix this so only the test in
   question is failed and the rest of the test suite continues.

10: Display the available command line options with -h

v2 -> v3:
* Drop the support for environment variables. Probably not useful. [Maciej]
* Fixed spelling mistake in patch #9 [Maciej]
* Fail gracefully if unsupported mode is chosen [Maciej]
* Simplified test run loop [Maciej]

v1 -> v2:

* Introduce XSKTEST_MODE env variable to be able to set the mode to
  use [Przemyslaw]
* Introduce XSKTEST_ETH env variable to be able to set the ethernet
  interface to use by introducing a new patch (#11) [Magnus]
* Fixed spelling error in patch #5 [Przemyslaw, Maciej]
* Fixed confusing documentation in patch #10  [Przemyslaw]
* The -l option can now be used without being root [Magnus, Maciej]
* Fixed documentation error in patch #7 [Maciej]
* Added error handling to the -t option [Maciej]
* -h now displayed as an option [Maciej]

Thanks: Magnus
