Jakub Kicinski e02b52ecef selftests: net: py: support ksft ready without wait
There's a common synchronization problem when a script (Python test)
uses a C program to set up some state (usually start a receiving
process for traffic). The script needs to know when the process
has fully initialized. The inverse of the problem exists for shutting
the process down - we need a reliable way to tell the process to exit.

We added helpers to do this safely in
commit 7147713799 ("selftests: drv-net: add a way to wait for a local process")
unfortunately the two operations (wait for init, and shutdown) are
controlled by a single parameter (ksft_wait). Add support for using
ksft_ready without using the second fd for exit.

This is useful for programs which wait for a specific number of packets
to rx so exit_wait is a good match, but we still need to wait for init.

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 reStructuredText 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.
