[PATCH v2 0/4] New line reading implementation
by David Gibson 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

As discussed on our call, the current line_read() implementation is pretty ugly and has some definite bugs. This series replaces it with a new implementation which should be more solid and more readable. The new implementation is larger than I'd really like, but it turns out its fiddlier to handle the various edge cases than you might think.

More mbuto pain
by David Gibson 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Now that the mbuto profile change is around, I tried getting the passt tests working. I fixed a couple of minor problems, before hitting another mbuto issue. On my host, mbuto isn't managing to find and include the virtio_net module. I think this is because on current Fedora the modules in /lib/modules are compressed. So it needs to include: /lib/modules/5.18.6-200.fc36.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/virtio_net.ko.xz but I think it's only looking for a plain '.ko' file. I had a look at the mbuto code to see if I could fix it, but I'm afraid mbuto is a long way past the complexity level at which I find shell remotely comprehensible. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.

[PATCH] test: Add external mbuto profile, drop udhcpc, and switch to it
by Stefano Brivio 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

This depends on a future change in mbuto to accept external profile files. Add a file defining what we need for tests and demos, dropping udhcpc, plus udhcpc and dhclient scripts as they're not needed anymore, and switch to it.

[PATCH 0/5] Test fixes, batch 3
by David Gibson 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

Here's another batch of fixes to get more passt/pasta tests running on my system, this time focused on the distro test cases. A number of those tests now run on my Fedora 36 host. Unfortunately they still fail on the Fedora 30, aarch64 test for reasons I haven't figured out (one of the yum downloads times out with passt but not -net user). This series is based on my earlier series adding the new "lineread" subsystem.

Weird timeout issue with passt
by David Gibson 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

I alluded to this in my last patchset, but here's the information I've gathered on the current problem I'm hitting running the passt distro tests. It's pretty weird. On at least two occasions the tests have stalled during the Fedora 30, aarch64 test, with the guest getting a timeout downloading the package lists before installing new packages. For me this is selecting the mirror mirror.2degrees.nz. I'm not sure which factors are are relevant to reproducing the problem though. * The problem seems to me that the download suddenly stops progressing * partway through, causing dnf to eventually time out * If I manually try a "dnf clean all && dnf makecache -v" using the same guest image, it doesn't fail every time, but it fails significantly more often than not * It doesn't fail on the same file every time * I haven't been able to reproduce manually downloading the failing file with curl (tried repeatedly) * If I restrict dnf to a single repository rather than the whole set, I haven't managed to reproduce the problem * If I use qemu's -net user slirp instead of passt with the same disk image , I haven't been able to reproduce the problem (tried a bunch of times) * I've reproduced with the guest using both IPv4 and IPv6 * I have reproduced what looks like the same problem with an x86 guest image under KVM (also Fedora 30), but it seems to happen much less often (seen once in 10 or more attempts) * Seems to reproduce fairly readily with an x86 guest under TCG though, so I'm guessing the difference is timing related. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.

These are not directly apropose anything, but I encountered a number of minor uglies in the Makefiles while I was working on other stuff, so heres a bunch of cleanups.

[PATCH 0/5] More test fixes for Fedora host
by David Gibson 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

Hi Stefano, Here's another batch of fixes for the passt/pasta tests. With this lot I'm now able to get the build and pasta tests passing on my Fedora workstation. The passt and distro tests still fail or crash, I'm continuing to look at those (it looks like there are some very fragile behaviours in qrap which means they're not even getting started). David Gibson (5): tests: Use more explicit netcat options for distro/fedora tests Don't abbreviate ip(8) arguments in examples and tests Tweak dhclient arguments for readability Use dhclient instead of udhcpc tests: Use nmap-ncat instead of openbsd netcat for pasta tests contrib/kata-containers/README.md | 2 +- doc/demo.sh | 8 ++--- passt.1 | 16 +++------ test/README.md | 2 +- test/demo/passt | 16 ++++----- test/demo/pasta | 24 ++++++------- test/demo/podman | 20 +++++------ test/dhcp/passt | 24 ++++++------- test/dhcp/pasta | 26 +++++++------- test/distro/fedora | 14 ++++---- test/distro/ubuntu | 4 +-- test/icmp/passt_in_ns | 4 +-- test/lib/setup | 12 +++---- test/ndp/passt | 12 +++---- test/ndp/pasta | 12 +++---- test/perf/passt_tcp | 8 ++--- test/perf/passt_udp | 8 ++--- test/perf/pasta_tcp | 6 ++-- test/perf/pasta_udp | 6 ++-- test/tcp/passt | 6 ++-- test/tcp/passt_in_ns | 22 ++++++------ test/tcp/pasta | 60 +++++++++++++++---------------- test/two_guests/basic | 26 +++++++------- test/udp/passt | 6 ++-- test/udp/passt_in_ns | 14 ++++---- test/udp/pasta | 35 +++++++++--------- 26 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 200 deletions(-) -- 2.36.1

[PATCH] tap: Add informational messages for UNIX domain socket connections

...namely, as connections are discarded or accepted.
