Hi!
Implement support for tests which require access to a remote system / endpoint which can generate traffic. This series concludes the "groundwork" for upstream driver tests.
I wanted to support the three models which came up in discussions:
- SW testing with netdevsim
- "local" testing with two ports on the same system in a loopback
- "remote" testing via SSH
so there is a tiny bit of an abstraction which wraps up how "remote" commands are executed. Otherwise hopefully there's nothing surprising.
I'm only adding a ping test. I had a bigger one written but I was worried we'll get into discussing the details of the test itself and how I chose to hack up netdevsim, instead of the test infra... So that test will be a follow up :)
v5:
- fix rand port generation, and wrap it in a helper in case the random thing proves to be flaky
- reuseaddr
- explicitly select the address family
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240418233844.2762396-1-kuba@kernel.org
- improve coding style of patch 5
- switch from netcat to socat (patch 6)
- support exit_wait for bkg() in context manager
- add require_XYZ() helpers (patch 7)
- increase timeouts a little (1,3 -> 5 sec)
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240417231146.2435572-1-kuba@kernel.org
- first two patches are new
- make Remote::cmd() return Popen() object (patch 3)
- always operate on absolute paths (patch 3)
- last two patches are new
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240416004556.1618804-1-kuba@kernel.org
- rename endpoint -> remote
- use 2001:db8:: v6 prefix
- add a note about persistent SSH connections
- add the kernel config

I tried this yesterday on a pair of Google cloud instances. In anticipation of converting some of my tests, like csum to this.
Only possible non-obvious observation is that some kselftests expect as root, and the ssh remote logic extends that to expecting ssh root access to the remote host.
Would it make sense to explicitly add sudo for all privileged operations, to allow for non-root ssh and scp?
