[PATCH net-next v2 08/12] netdevsim: Add MAC loopback simulation
Posted by Björn Töpel 1 week, 1 day ago
Implement the three ethtool loopback ops for MAC-level loopback
simulation:

 - get_loopback(): exact lookup by name ("mac")
 - get_loopback_by()_index: enumerate (single entry at index 0)
 - set_loopback(): update direction, return 1 if changed

The MAC loopback entry announces support for both local and remote
support by default. State is stored in nsim_ethtool.mac_lb and exposed
via debugfs under ethtool/mac_lb/{supported,direction} for test
inspection and control.
