Test that when two VXLAN tunnels with conflicting configurations (i.e., different TTL) are enslaved to the same VLAN-aware bridge, then the enslavement of a port to the bridge is denied.

2020-02-17selftests: mlxsw: Remove deprecated testIdo Schimmel
The addition of a VLAN on a bridge slave prompts the driver to have the local port in question join the FID corresponding to this VLAN. Before recent changes, the operation of joining the FID would also mean that the driver would enable VXLAN tunneling if a VXLAN device was also member in the VLAN. In case the configuration of the VXLAN tunnel was not supported, an extack error would be returned. Since the operation of joining the FID no longer means that VXLAN tunneling is potentially enabled, the test is no longer relevant. Remove it.

2020-02-16tools: testing: vsock: Test when server is bound but not listeningSebastien Boeuf
Whenever the server side of vsock is binding to the socket, but not listening yet, we expect the behavior from the client to be identical to what happens when the server is not even started. This new test runs the server side so that it binds to the socket without ever listening to it. The client side will try to connect and should receive an ECONNRESET error. This new test provides a way to validate the previously introduced patch for making sure the server side will always answer with a RST packet in case the client requested a new connection.

2020-02-13wireguard: device: use icmp_ndo_send helperJason A. Donenfeld
Because wireguard is calling icmp from network device context, it should use the ndo helper so that the rate limiting applies correctly. This commit adds a small test to the wireguard test suite to ensure that the new functions continue doing the right thing in the context of wireguard. It does this by setting up a condition that will definately evoke an icmp error message from the driver, but along a nat'd path. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

2020-02-07selftests/bpf: Test freeing sockmap/sockhash with a socket in itJakub Sitnicki
Commit 7e81a3530206 ("bpf: Sockmap, ensure sock lock held during tear down") introduced sleeping issues inside RCU critical sections and while holding a spinlock on sockmap/sockhash tear-down. There has to be at least one socket in the map for the problem to surface. This adds a test that triggers the warnings for broken locking rules. Not a fix per se, but rather tooling to verify the accompanying fixes. Run on a VM with 1 vCPU to reproduce the warnings.

Summary: - Implement user_access_begin() and friends for our platforms that support controlling kernel access to userspace. - Enable CONFIG_VMAP_STACK on 32-bit Book3S and 8xx. - Some tweaks to our pseries IOMMU code to allow SVMs ("secure" virtual machines) to use the IOMMU. - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 32-bit VDSO, and some other improvements. - A series to use the PCI hotplug framework to control opencapi card's so that they can be reset and re-read after flashing a new FPGA image. As well as other minor fixes and improvements as usual.

2020-02-02selftests: net: Add FIN_ACK processing order related latency spike testSeongJae Park
This commit adds a test for FIN_ACK process races related reconnection latency spike issues. The issue has described and solved by the previous commit ("tcp: Reduce SYN resend delay if a suspicous ACK is received"). The test program is configured with a server and a client process. The server creates and binds a socket to a port that dynamically allocated, listen on it, and start a infinite loop. Inside the loop, it accepts connection, reads 4 bytes from the socket, and closes the connection. The client is constructed as an infinite loop. Inside the loop, it creates a socket with LINGER and NODELAY option, connect to the server, send 4 bytes data, try read some data from server. After the read() returns, it measure the latency from the beginning of this loop to this point and if the latency is larger than 1 second (spike), print a message.

Fix the gup benchmark flags to use the symbolic FOLL_WRITE, instead of a hard-coded "1" value. Also, clean up the filtering of gup flags a little, by just doing it once before issuing any of the get_user_pages*() calls. This makes it harder to overlook, instead of having little "gup_flags & 1" phrases in the function calls.

2020-01-31selftests: KVM: testing the local IRQs resetsPierre Morel
Local IRQs are reset by a normal cpu reset. The initial cpu reset and the clear cpu reset, as superset of the normal reset, both clear the IRQs too. Let's inject an interrupt to a vCPU before calling a reset and see if it is gone after the reset. We choose to inject only an emergency interrupt at this point and can extend the test to other types of IRQs later.
