<content type='text'>
Add a selftest that verifies symmetric RSS hash is working as intended.
The test runs iterations of traffic, swapping the src/dst UDP ports, and
verifies that the same RX queue is receiving the traffic in both cases.

We use wait_port_listen() extensively to wait for a process
we spawned to be ready. Not all processes will open listening
sockets. Add a method of explicitly waiting for a child to
be ready. Pass a FD to the spawned process and wait for it
to write a message to us. FD number is passed via KSFT_READY_FD
env variable.

Similarly use KSFT_WAIT_FD to let the child process for a sign
that we are done and child should exit. Sending a signal to
a child with shell=True can get tricky.

Make use of this method in the queues test to make it less flaky.

Joe Damato reports that some shells will fork before running
the command when python does "sh -c $cmd", while bash on my
machine does an exec of $cmd directly.

This will have implications for our ability to terminate
the child process on various configurations of bash and
other shells. Warn about using

	bkg(... shell=True, termininate=True)

most background commands can hopefully exit cleanly (exit_wait).

<title>selftests: drv-net: add ability to schedule cleanup with defer()</title>

<content type='text'>
This implements what I was describing in [1]. When writing a test
author can schedule cleanup / undo actions right after the creation
completes, eg:

  cmd("touch /tmp/file")
  defer(cmd, "rm /tmp/file")

defer() takes the function name as first argument, and the rest are
arguments for that function. defer()red functions are called in
inverse order after test exits. It's also possible to capture them
and execute earlier (in which case they get automatically de-queued).

  undo = defer(cmd, "rm /tmp/file")
  # ... some unsafe code ...
  undo.exec()

As a nice safety all exceptions from defer()ed calls are captured,
printed, and ignored (they do make the test fail, however).
This addresses the common problem of exceptions in cleanup paths
often being unhandled, leading to potential leaks.

There is a global action queue, flushed by ksft_run(). We could support
function level defers too, I guess, but there's no immediate need..

Add tests focusing on indirection table configuration and
creating extra RSS contexts in drivers which support it.

  # Totals: pass:6 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0

Note that rss_ctx.test_rss_context_out_of_order fails with the device
I tested with, but it seems to be a device / driver bug.

Add a selftest for netdev generic netlink. For now there is only a
single test that exercises the `queue-get` API.

The test works with netdevsim by default or with a real device by
setting NETIF.

Add a timeout param to cmd() since ethtool -L can take a long time on
real devices.
