<content type='text'>
The default ndo_get_iflink() implementation returns the current ifindex
of the netdev. But the overridden nsim_get_iflink() returns 0 if the
current nsim is not linked, breaking backwards compatibility for
userspace that depend on this behaviour.

Fix the problem by returning the current ifindex if not linked to a
peer.

<content type='text'>
Add NAPI support to netdevim, similar to veth.

* Add a nsim_rq rx queue structure to hold a NAPI instance and a skb
  queue.
* During xmit, store the skb in the peer skb queue and schedule NAPI.
* During napi_poll(), drain the skb queue and pass up the stack.
* Add assoc between rxq and NAPI instance using netif_queue_set_napi().

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never
updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev-&gt;mtu, new_mtu) as hinted
in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small
mtu values.")

We read dev-&gt;mtu without holding RTNL in many places,
with READ_ONCE() annotations.

It is time to take care of ndo_change_mtu() methods
to use corresponding WRITE_ONCE()

Add very basic page pool use so that we can exercise
the netlink uAPI in a selftest.

Page pool gets created on open, destroyed on close.
But we control allocating of a single page thru debugfs.
This page may survive past the page pool itself so that
we can test orphaned page pools.

Real devices should implement qstats. Devices which support
pause or FEC configuration should also report the relevant stats.

nsim was missing FEC stats completely, some of the qstats
and pause stats required toggling a debugfs knob.

Note that the tests which used pause always initialize the setting
so they shouldn't be affected by the different starting value.

<title>netdevsim: forward skbs from one connected port to another</title>

<content type='text'>
Forward skbs sent from one netdevsim port to its connected netdevsim
port using dev_forward_skb, in a spirit similar to veth.

Add a tx_dropped variable to struct netdevsim, tracking the number of
skbs that could not be forwarded using dev_forward_skb().

The xmit() function accessing the peer ptr is protected by an RCU read
critical section. The rcu_read_lock() is functionally redundant as since
v5.0 all softirqs are implicitly RCU read critical sections; but it is
useful for human readers.

If another CPU is concurrently in nsim_destroy(), then it will first set
the peer ptr to NULL. This does not affect any existing readers that
dereferenced a non-NULL peer. Then, in unregister_netdevice(), there is
a synchronize_rcu() before the netdev is actually unregistered and
freed. This ensures that any readers i.e. xmit() that got a non-NULL
peer will complete before the netdev is freed.

Any readers after the RCU_INIT_POINTER() but before synchronize_rcu()
will dereference NULL, making it safe.

The codepath to nsim_destroy() and nsim_create() takes both the newly
added nsim_dev_list_lock and rtnl_lock. This makes it safe with
concurrent calls to linking two netdevsims together.
