selftests/net: GRO coalesce test
Implement a GRO testsuite that expects Linux kernel GRO behavior. All tests pass with the kernel software GRO stack. Run against a device with hardware GRO to verify that it matches the software stack. gro.c generates packets and sends them out through a packet socket. The receiver in gro.c (run separately) receives the packets on a packet socket, filters them by destination ports using BPF and checks the packet geometry to see whether GRO was applied. gro.sh provides a wrapper to run the gro.c in NIC loopback mode. It is not included in continuous testing because it modifies network configuration around a physical NIC: gro.sh sets the NIC in loopback mode, creates macvlan devices on the physical device in separate namespaces, and sends traffic generated by gro.c between the two namespaces to observe coalescing behavior. GRO coalescing is time sensitive. Some tests may prove flaky on some hardware. Note that this test suite tests for software GRO unless hardware GRO is enabled (ethtool -K $DEV rx-gro-hw on). To test, run ./gro.sh. The wrapper will output success or failed test names, and generate log.txt and stderr. Sample log.txt result: ... pure data packet of same size: Test succeeded large data packets followed by a smaller one: Test succeeded small data packets followed by a larger one: Test succeeded ... Sample stderr result: ... carrier ready running test ipv4 data Expected {200 }, Total 1 packets Received {200 }, Total 1 packets. ...
