These selftests test AF_XDP SKB and Native/DRV modes using veth Virtual
Ethernet interfaces.

The test program contains two threads, each thread is single socket with
a unique UMEM. It validates in-order packet delivery and packet content
by sending packets to each other.

Prerequisites setup by script TEST_PREREQUISITES.sh:

    Set up veth interfaces as per the topology shown ^^:
    * setup two veth interfaces and one namespace
    ** veth<xxxx> in root namespace
    ** veth<yyyy> in af_xdp<xxxx> namespace
    ** namespace af_xdp<xxxx>
    * create a spec file veth.spec that includes this run-time configuration
      that is read by test scripts - filenames prefixed with TEST_XSK
    *** xxxx and yyyy are randomly generated 4 digit numbers used to avoid
        conflict with any existing interface.

The following tests are provided:

1. AF_XDP SKB mode
    Generic mode XDP is driver independent, used when the driver does
    not have support for XDP. Works on any netdevice using sockets and
    generic XDP path. XDP hook from netif_receive_skb().
    a. nopoll - soft-irq processing
    b. poll - using poll() syscall
    c. Socket Teardown
       Create a Tx and a Rx socket, Tx from one socket, Rx on another.
       Destroy both sockets, then repeat multiple times. Only nopoll mode
	  is used
    d. Bi-directional Sockets
       Configure sockets as bi-directional tx/rx sockets, sets up fill
	  and completion rings on each socket, tx/rx in both directions.
	  Only nopoll mode is used

2. AF_XDP DRV/Native mode
    Works on any netdevice with XDP_REDIRECT support, driver dependent.
    Processes packets before SKB allocation. Provides better performance
    than SKB. Driver hook available just after DMA of buffer descriptor.
    a. nopoll
    b. poll
    c. Socket Teardown
    d. Bi-directional Sockets
    * Only copy mode is supported because veth does not currently support
      zero-copy mode

Total tests: 8.

Flow:
* Single process spawns two threads: Tx and Rx
* Each of these two threads attach to a veth interface within their
   assigned namespaces
* Each thread creates one AF_XDP socket connected to a unique umem
   for each veth interface
* Tx thread transmits 10k packets from veth<xxxx> to veth<yyyy>
* Rx thread verifies if all 10k packets were received and delivered
   in-order, and have the right content

Structure of the patch set:

Patch 1: This patch adds XSK Selftests framework under
          tools/testing/selftests/xsk, and README
Patch 2: Adds tests: SKB poll and nopoll mode, mac-ip-udp debug,
          and README updates
Patch 3: Adds tests: DRV poll and nopoll mode, and README updates
Patch 4: Adds tests: SKB and DRV Socket Teardown, and README updates
Patch 5: Adds tests: SKB and DRV Bi-directional Sockets, and README
          updates

   selftests/xsk: xsk selftests framework
   selftests/xsk: xsk selftests - SKB POLL, NOPOLL
   selftests/xsk: xsk selftests - DRV POLL, NOPOLL
   selftests/xsk: xsk selftests - Socket Teardown - SKB, DRV
   selftests/xsk: xsk selftests - Bi-directional Sockets - SKB, DRV

Thanks a lot for adding the selftests, Weqaar! Given this needs to copy quite
a bit of BPF selftest base infra e.g. from Makefiles I'd prefer if you could
place these under selftests/bpf/ instead to avoid duplicating changes into two
locations. I understand that these tests don't integrate well into test_progs,
but for example see test_tc_redirect.sh or test_tc_edt.sh for stand-alone tests
which could be done similarly with the xsk ones. Would be great if you could
integrate them and spin a v2 with that.

Thanks,
Daniel
