Test verifies that netdevsim correctly implements devlink ops callbacks that set tc-bw on leaf or node rate object.
Please add a test that can actually validate a NIC HW. The test probably needs to be in Python to use a remote endpoint, and should live under tools/testing/../drivers/net/hw
We had a long conversation about what we expect from the API vs how your HW works. One of the test cases should confirm the expected behavior, IOW fail on mlx5. Which is fine, unlikely that any NIC will have 100% compliance. But at least we will be documenting the expectations.
Working on this. Let me know if the netdevsim selftest should stay alongside the hardware tests, or be removed.
I think it's nice to have. But please share a link to the patches which add the support in the CLI next time. Can be a lore link if posted, or a GH repo.
I need to pull the pending patches into the CI so that the test can run.
