Alongside the helper ip_link_set_up(), one to set the link down will be
useful as well. Add a helper to determine the link state as well,
ip_link_is_up(), and use it to short-circuit any changes if the state is
already the desired one.

Furthermore, add a helper bridge_vlan_add().

Add ip_link_set_addr(), ip_link_set_up(), ip_addr_add() and ip_route_add()
to the suite of helpers that automatically schedule a corresponding
cleanup.

When setting a new MAC, one needs to remember the old address first. Move
mac_get() from forwarding/ to that end.

Check that only one notification is produced for various FDB edit
operations.

Regarding the ip_link_add() and ip_link_master() helpers. This pattern of
action plus corresponding defer is bound to come up often, and a dedicated
vocabulary to capture it will be handy. tunnel_create() and vlan_create()
from forwarding/lib.sh are somewhat opaque and perhaps too kitchen-sinky,
so I tried to go in the opposite direction with these ones, and wrapped
only the bare minimum to schedule a corresponding cleanup.

For logging to be useful, something has to set RET and retmsg by calling
ret_set_ksft_status(). There is a suite of functions to that end in
forwarding/lib: check_err, check_fail et.al. Move them to net/lib.sh so
that every net test can use them.

Existing lib.sh users might be using these same names for their functions.
However lib.sh is always sourced near the top of the file (checked), and
whatever new definitions will simply override the ones provided by lib.sh.

Many net selftests invent their own logging helpers. These really should be
in a library sourced by these tests. Currently forwarding/lib.sh has a
suite of perfectly fine logging helpers, but sourcing a forwarding/ library
from a higher-level directory smells of layering violation. In this patch,
move the logging helpers to net/lib.sh so that every net test can use them.

Together with the logging helpers, it's also necessary to move
pause_on_fail(), and EXIT_STATUS and RET.

Existing lib.sh users might be using these same names for their functions
or variables. However lib.sh is always sourced near the top of the
file (checked), and whatever new definitions will simply override the ones

<title>selftests: net: lib: Introduce deferred commands</title>
<updated>2024-10-22T11:33:47+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=a6e263f125cd7b10614a83159c453c061dbf6877'/>
<id>a6e263f125cd7b10614a83159c453c061dbf6877</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 8510801a9dbd ("selftests: drv-net: add ability to schedule
cleanup with defer()"), a defer helper was added to Python selftests.
The idea is to keep cleanup commands close to their dirtying counterparts,
thereby making it more transparent what is cleaning up what, making it
harder to miss a cleanup, and make the whole cleanup business exception
safe. All these benefits are applicable to bash as well, exception safety
can be interpreted in terms of safety vs. a SIGINT.

This patch therefore introduces a framework of several helpers that serve
to schedule cleanups in bash selftests:

- defer_scope_push(), defer_scope_pop(): Deferred statements can be batched
  together in scopes. When a scope is popped, the deferred commands
  scheduled in that scope are executed in the order opposite to order of
  their scheduling.

- defer(): Schedules a defer to the most recently pushed scope (or the
  default scope if none was pushed.)

- defer_prio(): Schedules a defer on the priority track. The priority defer
  queue is run before the default defer queue when scope is popped.

  The issue that this is addressing is specifically the one of restoring
  devlink shared buffer threshold type. When setting up static thresholds,
  one has to first change the threshold type to static, then override the
  individual thresholds. When cleaning up, it would be natural to reset the
  threshold values first, then change the threshold type. But the values
  that are valid for dynamic thresholds are generally invalid for static
  thresholds and vice versa. Attempts to restore the values first would be
  bounced. Thus one has to first reset the threshold type, then adjust the
  thresholds.

  (You could argue that the shared buffer threshold type API is broken and
  you would be right, but here we are.)

  This cannot be solved by pure defers easily. I considered making it
  possible to disable an existing defer, so that one could then schedule a
  new defer and disable the original. But this forward-shifting of the
  defer job would have to take place after every threshold-adjusting
  command, which would make it very awkward to schedule these jobs.

- defer_scopes_cleanup(): Pops any unpopped scopes, including the default
  one. The selftests that use defer should run this in their exit trap.
  This is important to get cleanups of interrupted scripts.

- in_defer_scope(): Sometimes a function would like to introduce a new
  defer scope, then run whatever it is that it wants to run, and then pop
  the scope to run the deferred cleanups. The helper in_defer_scope() can
  be used to run another command within such environment, such that any
  scheduled defers run after the command finishes.

The framework is added as a separate file lib/sh/defer.sh so that it can be
used by all bash selftests, including those that do not currently use
lib.sh. lib.sh however includes the file by default, because ideally all
tests would use these helpers instead of hand-rolling their cleanups.

  thresholds.

  (You could argue that the shared buffer threshold type API is broken and
  you would be right, but here we are.)

  This cannot be solved by pure defers easily. I considered making it
  possible to disable an existing defer, so that one could then schedule a
  new defer and disable the original. But this forward-shifting of the
  defer job would have to take place after every threshold-adjusting
  command, which would make it very awkward to schedule these jobs.

- defer_scopes_cleanup(): Pops any unpopped scopes, including the default
  one. The selftests that use defer should run this in their exit trap.
  This is important to get cleanups of interrupted scripts.

- in_defer_scope(): Sometimes a function would like to introduce a new
  defer scope, then run whatever it is that it wants to run, and then pop
  the scope to run the deferred cleanups. The helper in_defer_scope() can
  be used to run another command within such environment, such that any
  scheduled defers run after the command finishes.

The framework is added as a separate file lib/sh/defer.sh so that it can be
used by all bash selftests, including those that do not currently use
lib.sh. lib.sh however includes the file by default, because ideally all
tests would use these helpers instead of hand-rolling their cleanups.

A few tests check if nettest exists in the $PATH before adding
$PWD to $PATH and re-checking. They don't discard stderr on
the first check (and nettest is built as part of selftests,
so it's pretty normal for it to not be available in system $PATH).
This leads to output noise:

  which: no nettest in (/home/virtme/tools/fs/bin:/home/virtme/tools/fs/sbin:/home/virtme/tools/fs/usr/bin:/home/virtme/tools/fs/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin)

Add a common helper for the check which does silence stderr.

There is another small functional change hiding here, because pmtu.sh
and fib_rule_tests.sh used to return from the test case rather than
completely exit. Building nettest is not hard, there should be no need
to maintain the ability to selectively skip cases in its absence.
