Summary of Changes
Hello @julianuziemblo, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the test coverage for network-related system calls, focusing on complex ioctl operations and routing table management. The added tests ensure the robustness and correctness of how the system handles network interface configuration and dynamic routing, particularly for operations involving nested data structures and memory passing.
Highlights
- New tests for special ioctls: This pull request introduces new tests for 'special' ioctls, which are system calls that pass structures containing pointers to arbitrary memory. These require specific handling within the kernel to correctly pass data from userspace.
- SIOCETHTOOL ioctl tests: Comprehensive tests have been added for the SIOCETHTOOL ioctl, covering various commands such as ETHTOOL_GSET, ETHTOOL_SSET, ETHTOOL_TEST, ETHTOOL_GLOOPBACK, and ETHTOOL_SLOOPBACK to ensure proper network interface configuration and diagnostics.
- Routing command tests: New Python-based tests have been added to validate the functionality of 'route' commands, specifically
route addandroute del, ensuring correct manipulation of the system's routing table.

Code Review
This pull request introduces valuable new tests for special ioctl commands and the route utility. The C language tests for ioctl have some significant structural issues concerning resource management and test isolation that should be addressed. Specifically, there's a file descriptor leak and a fragile dependency on test execution order. The Python test for route has some minor style and convention issues. Overall, these are good additions, but the suggested fixes will improve their robustness and maintainability.

Code Review
This pull request adds several new tests for ioctl functionality, particularly for 'special' ioctls that involve pointers and for ethtool commands. A new Python-based test for the route command is also included. The changes are well-structured, and the tests cover important functionality. I've found a few minor issues in the new C test file, mainly related to code clarity and robustness, and a small typo in an error message. My suggestions aim to improve maintainability and fix the typo.

Special ioctls are those with that pass a struct with subpointer(s) to arbitrary memory, as we have to handle them differently to pass that memory. JIRA: RTOS-1014
