<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().

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.

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

<id>9eb95228a74163e26d338913a5d61e571ea45307</id>
<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.

Add two netdevsim bus attribute to sysfs:
/sys/bus/netdevsim/link_device
/sys/bus/netdevsim/unlink_device

Writing "A M B N" to link_device will link netdevsim M in netnsid A with
netdevsim N in netnsid B.

Writing "A M" to unlink_device will unlink netdevsim M in netnsid A from
its peer, if any.

rtnl_lock is taken to ensure nothing changes during the linking.

<title>net: netdevsim: use mock PHC driver</title>

I'd like to make netdevsim offload tc-taprio, but currently, this Qdisc
emits a ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO call to the driver to make sure that it has
a PTP clock, so that it is reasonably capable of offloading the schedule.

By using the mock PHC driver, that becomes possible.

Hardware timestamping is not necessary, and netdevsim does not support
packet I/O anyway.

When the kernel is compiled with MACsec support, add the
NETIF_F_HW_MACSEC feature to netdevsim devices and implement
macsec_ops.

To allow easy testing of failure from the device, support is limited
to 3 SecY's per netdevsim device, and 1 RXSC per SecY.

v2:
 - nsim_macsec_add_secy, return -ENOSPC if secy_count isn't full but
   we can't find an empty slot (Simon Horman)
 - add sci_to_cpu to make sparse happy (Simon Horman)
 - remove set but not used secy variable (kernel test robot and

Similarly to the previous commit, use the devlink instance
lock and let it replace the vfs_lock.

nsim_esw_legacy_enable() was locked by both port lock and
vfs lock so one set of lock/unlocks goes away.

netdevsim's .eswitch_mode_set callback is now ready for
the callback to take the instance lock.

Take advantage of the devlink instance lock for protecting
the port list. This will simplify locking even more once
all devlink callbacks hold the instance lock.

We need to add locking in nsim_dev_port_add_all() which used
to assume higher layer protection when accessing the list.

<title>netdevsim: Introduce support for L3 offload xstats</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for testing of HW stats support that was added recently, namely
the L3 stats support. L3 stats are provided for devices for which the L3
stats have been turned on, and that were enabled for netdevsim through a
debugfs toggle:

    # echo $ifindex &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/$DEV/hwstats/l3/enable_ifindex

For fully enabled netdevices, netdevsim counts 10pps of ingress traffic and
20pps of egress traffic. Similarly, L3 stats can be disabled for a given
device, and netdevsim ceases pretending there is any HW traffic going on:

    # echo $ifindex &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/$DEV/hwstats/l3/disable_ifindex

Besides this, there is a third toggle to mark a device for future failure:

    # echo $ifindex &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/$DEV/hwstats/l3/fail_next_enable

A future request to enable L3 stats on such netdevice will be bounced by
netdevsim:

    # ip -j l sh dev d | jq '.[].ifindex'
    66
    # echo 66 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/netdevsim10/hwstats/l3/enable_ifindex
    # echo 66 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/netdevsim/netdevsim10/hwstats/l3/fail_next_enable
    # ip stats set dev d l3_stats on
