Add test_iou_zcrx_large_buf, which runs iou-zcrx with rx_buf_len > page size (-x 2) through a netkit-leased RX queue. The netkit ifindex is opaque to io_uring, but rx_page_size is honoured by the leased physical qops via netif_mp_open_rxq()'s lease redirect. Originally, I also added a BIG TCP variant on top, but dropped it here as fbnic (and the QEMU fbnic model) has no BIG TCP support to exercise it as this point. Tested against the QEMU fbnic emulation. The new test exercises the > page rx_buf_len path only when the leased NIC advertises QCFG_RX_PAGE_SIZE; otherwise it skips. For fbnic, I used Bjorn's patches locally [0]: # ./nk_qlease.py TAP version 13 1..5 ok 1 nk_qlease.test_iou_zcrx ok 2 nk_qlease.test_iou_zcrx_large_buf ok 3 nk_qlease.test_attrs ok 4 nk_qlease.test_attach_xdp_with_mp ok 5 nk_qlease.test_destroy # Totals: pass:5 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 Without those patches (aka not advertising QCFG_RX_PAGE_SIZE): # ./nk_qlease.py TAP version 13 1..5 ok 1 nk_qlease.test_iou_zcrx ok 2 nk_qlease.test_iou_zcrx_large_buf # SKIP Large chunks are not supported -95 ok 3 nk_qlease.test_attrs ok 4 nk_qlease.test_attach_xdp_with_mp ok 5 nk_qlease.test_destroy # Totals: pass:4 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0 Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260522113225.241337-1-bjorn@kernel.org/ (local) [0] --- .../selftests/drivers/net/hw/nk_qlease.py | 86 ++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 85 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
