Amit Cohen 7c1118588a selftests: forwarding: devlink_lib: Wait for udev events after reloading 
[ Upstream commit f67a90a0c8 ]

Lately, an additional locking was added by commit c0a40097f0
("drivers: core: synchronize really_probe() and dev_uevent()"). The
locking protects dev_uevent() calling. This function is used to send
messages from the kernel to user space. Uevent messages notify user space
about changes in device states, such as when a device is added, removed,
or changed. These messages are used by udev (or other similar user-space
tools) to apply device-specific rules.

After reloading devlink instance, udev events should be processed. This
locking causes a short delay of udev events handling.

One example for useful udev rule is renaming ports. 'forwading.config'
can be configured to use names after udev rules are applied. Some tests run
devlink_reload() and immediately use the updated names. This worked before
the above mentioned commit was pushed, but now the delay of uevent messages
causes that devlink_reload() returns before udev events are handled and
tests fail.

Adjust devlink_reload() to not assume that udev events are already
processed when devlink reload is done, instead, wait for udev events to
ensure they are processed before returning from the function.

Without this patch:

TEST: 'rif_mac_profile' 4                                           [ OK ]

Cannot find device "swp2"
TEST: setup_wait_dev (: Interface swp1 does not come up.) [FAIL]

With this patch:
$ TESTS='rif_mac_profile' ./resource_scale.sh
TEST: 'rif_mac_profile' 4                                           [ OK ]
TEST: 'rif_mac_profile' overflow 5                                  [ OK ]

This is relevant not only for this test.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
