The rss_ctx test has gotten pretty flaky after I increased
the queue count in NIPA 2->3. Not 100% clear why. We get
a lot of failures in the rss_ctx.test_hitless_key_update case.
Looking closer it appears that the failures are mostly due
to startup costs. I measured the following timing for ethtool -X:
- python cmd(shell=True) : 150-250msec
- python cmd(shell=False) : 50- 70msec
- timed in bash : 45- 55msec
- YNL Netlink call : 2- 4msec
- .set_rxfh callback : 1- 2msec
The target in the test was set to 200msec. We were mostly measuring
ethtool startup cost it seems. Switch to YNL since it's 100x faster.
Lower the pass criteria to 150msec, no real science behind this number
but we removed some overhead, drivers which previously passed 200msec
should easily pass 150msec now.
Separately we should probably follow up on defaulting to shell=False,
when script doesn't explicitly ask for True, because the overhead
is rather significant.
Switch from _rss_key_rand() to random.randbytes(), YNL takes a binary
array rather than array of ints.

v2:
- increase the threshold to safer 150msec
- mention change away from _rss_key_rand()
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250829220712.327920-1-kuba@kernel.org

Clean up tests which expect shell=True without explicitly passing
that param to cmd(). There seems to be only one such case, and
in fact it's better converted to a direct write.

2.51.0
This patch improves the utils.py module by removing unused imports
(errno, random), simplifying the fd_read_timeout() function by
eliminating unnecessary else clause, and cleaning up code style in the
defer class constructor.
Additionally, it renames the parameter in rand_port() from 'type' to
'stype' to avoid shadowing the built-in Python name 'type', improving
code clarity and preventing potential issues.
These changes enhance code readability and maintainability without
affecting functionality.

Mshare is a developing feature proposed by Anthony Yznaga and Khalid Aziz
that enables sharing of PTEs across processes. The V3 patch set has been
posted for review:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20250820010415.699353-1-anthony.yznaga@ora…
This patch set adds selftests to exercise and demonstrate basic
functionality of mshare.
The initial tests use open, ioctl, and mmap syscalls to establish a shared
memory mapping between two processes and verify the expected behavior.
Additional tests are included to check interoperability with swap and
Transparent Huge Pages.
Future work will extend coverage to other use cases such as integration
with KVM and more advanced scenarios.
This series is intended to be applied on top of mshare V3, which is
based on mm-new (2025-08-15).

2.20.1
One fix for occasional failures I found while testing and a bunch of
cleanups that should make that test easier to digest.
Tested on x86-64, the test seems to reliably pass.
