[PATCH net v3 5/5] selftests: drv-net: Add VLAN test
From: Ovidiu Panait
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 12:48:08 EST
Add a test that validates ping traffic over VLAN interfaces. It aims
to catch drivers which mishandle hardware VLAN tag stripping, in
particular QinQ.
Three VLAN configurations are covered, each with hardware VLAN stripping
enabled and disabled:
- a single 802.1q VLAN interface
- a single 802.1ad VLAN interface
- an 802.1q VLAN stacked on top of an 802.1ad interface

v3 changes:
- Moved the selftest to drivers/net/hw, as the _hw variants couldn't run
under netdevsim.
- Fixed "ruff check" and "pylint --disable=R" warnings.
- Added CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=m to configs file.
v2 changes:
- New patch.
