Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 0/7] Selftests/xsk: Test with maximum and minimum HW ring size configurations

Please find enclosed a patch set that introduces enhancements and new test
cases to the selftests/xsk framework. These test the robustness and
reliability of AF_XDP across both minimal and maximal ring size
configurations.

While running these tests, a bug [1] was identified when the batch size is
roughly the same as the NIC ring size. This has now been addressed by
Maciej's fix.

[1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=913eda2b08cc49d31f382579e2be34c2709eb789

Patch Summary:

1. This commit syncs the ethtool.h header file between the kernel source
   tree and the tools directory to maintain consistency.

2: Modifies the BATCH_SIZE from a constant to a variable, batch_size, to
   support dynamic modification at runtime for testing different hardware
   ring sizes.

3: Implements a function, get_hw_ring_size, to retrieve the current
   maximum interface size and store this information in the
   ethtool_ringparam structure.

4: Implements a new function, set_hw_ring_size, which allows for the
   dynamic configuration of the ring size within an interface.

5: Introduce a new function, set_ring_size(), to manage asynchronous AF_XDP
   socket closure. Make sure to retry the set_hw_ring_size function
   multiple times, up to SOCK_RECONF_CTR, if it fails due to an active
   AF_XDP socket. Immediately return an error for non-EBUSY errors.

6: Adds a new test case that puts the AF_XDP driver under stress by
   configuring minimal hardware and software ring sizes, verifying its
   functionality under constrained conditions.

7: Add a new test case that evaluates the maximum ring sizes for AF_XDP,
   ensuring its reliability under maximum ring utilization.

Testing Strategy:

Check the system in extreme scenarios, such as maximum and minimum
configurations. This helps identify and fix any bugs that may occur.

Tushar Vyavahare (7):
  tools/include: copy ethtool.h to tools directory
  selftests/xsk: make batch size variable
  selftests/bpf: implement get_hw_ring_size function to retrieve current
    and max interface size
  selftests/bpf: implement set_hw_ring_size function to configure
    interface ring size
  selftests/xsk: introduce set_ring_size function with a retry mechanism
    for handling AF_XDP socket closures
  selftests/xsk: test AF_XDP functionality under minimal ring
    configurations
  selftests/xsk: add new test case for AF_XDP under max ring sizes

Changelog:
v1->v2
- copy ethtool.h to tools directory [Stanislav]
- Use ethtool_ringparam directly for get_hw_ring_size() [Stanislav]
- get_hw_ring_size() and get_hw_ring_size() moved to network_helpers.c [Stanislav]
- return -errno to match the other cases where errors are < 0. [Stanislav]
- Cleaned up set_ring_size() function by removing unused variables and
  refactoring logic for clarity. [Alexei]
- Implement a retry mechanism for the set_ring_size function to handle
  the asynchronous nature of AF_XDP socket closure. [Magnus]
