2026-08-13selftests: netconsole: add a userdata torture testBreno Leitao2-0/+230
The userdata payload is rebuilt and republished on every configfs write, including while the target is enabled and messages are being sent. Add netcons_userdata.sh that runs random tests with userdata.

2026-07-21selftests: netconsole: ignore busywait errorsMatthieu Baerts (NGI0)4-5/+5
In these netconsole tests, bash is used with errexit (set -e). It means that if the busywait timeout, the tests finish without printing an error message. It is fine to ignore these errors, because the following validate_xxx helpers will check the content of the output file, and exit with an appropriated error message, e.g. FAIL: File was not generated.

2026-07-17selftests: netconsole: only restore MAC when it changed on resumeAndre Carvalho1-1/+2
The "mac" bind mode reactivation downs the interface, restores the saved MAC and renames it to trigger a target resume. This assumes the recreated interface comes back with a different MAC, which is true under MACAddressPolicy=none (as on the Netdev CI) but not when MACs are persistent. In the persistent case netconsole resumes the target on its own, and the down/restore/rename flow instead drops it and fails the test. Guard the block on the MAC having actually changed so the test passes under both policies.

2026-03-03selftests: netconsole: print diagnostic on busywait timeout in netcons_basicBreno Leitao1-1/+5
The script uses set -euo pipefail, so when busywait times out waiting for the netconsole message to arrive, it returns 1 and the script exits immediately without printing any error message. As reported by Jakub, this makes failures hard to diagnose since the test reports exit=1 with no explanation. Handle the busywait failure explicitly so that a FAIL message is printed before exiting. This is how it looks like now: Running with target mode: basic (ipv6) [ 167.452561] netconsole selftest: netcons_QdMay FAIL: Timed out waiting (20000 ms) for netconsole message in /tmp/netcons_QdMay The remaining silent failures under set -e can only happen during the setup phase (netdevsim creation, interface configuration, configfs writes). So, it is not expected to have any silent failure once the test starts. Note that this issue might be less frequent now, since commit a68a9bd086c28 ("selftests: netconsole: Increase port listening timeout") increased the timeout that _might_ have been the root cause of these random failures in NIPA.

2026-01-29netconsole: selftests: Move netconsole selftests to separate targetAndre Carvalho9-0/+879
This patch moves netconsole selftests from drivers/net to its own target in drivers/net/netconsole. This change helps saving some resources from CI since tests in drivers/net automatically run against real hardware which are not used by netconsole tests as they rely solely on netdevsim. lib_netcons.sh is kept under drivers/net/lib since it is also used by bonding selftests. Finally, drivers/net config remains unchanged as netpoll_basic.py requires netconsole (and does leverage real HW testing).
