[PATCH net-next 07/14] selftests: net: shaper: Add nested depth limit discovery test

From: Mohsin Bashir

Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 23:13:24 EST


From: Mohsin Bashir <hmohsin@xxxxxxxx>

Add nested_depth_limit to incrementally create deeper nesting
levels until the driver rejects. Reports the maximum supported
nesting depth on both pass and fail. A device advertising nesting
support must support at least depth 2, otherwise nesting is
meaningless.
