Base the root user check on os.getuid() instead of SUDO_GID so as not to
implicitly require sudo. SUDO_GID being set doesn't guarantee that the
effective user is root either since you can sudo to non-root accounts.
We check that config is not None but then access config.ctx outside of
that if block anyway. Then we do the same for config.ctx and
config.ctx.args. Nest the if blocks for the checks to be useful.
For quite a while test-runner has run into frequent OOM exceptions when
running many tests in a row. Its not completely known exactly why, but
seems to point to the 9p driver which is used for sharing the root fs
between the test-runner VM and the host.
With debugging enabled (-d) one can see the available memory available
relatively stable. If a test fails it may spike ~3-4kb but this quickly
recovers as python garbage collects.
At some point the kernel faults failing to allocate which (usually) is
shown by a python OOM exception. At this point there is plenty of
available memory.
Dumping the kernel trace its seen that the 9p driver is involved:

Here its seen an allocation of 512k is being requested (order:7), but faults.
In this run it there was ~35MB of available memory on the system.
Available Memory: 35268 kB
Last Test Delta: -2624 kB
Per-test Usage:
[ 0] ** 37016
[ 1] ********* 41584
[ 2] * 36280
[ 3] ********* 41452
[ 4] ******** 40940
[ 5] ****** 39284
[ 6] **** 38348
[ 7] *** 37496
[ 8] **** 37892
[ 9] 35268
This can be reproduced by running all autotests (changing the ram down to
~128MB helps trigger it faster):
./tools/test-runner -k <kernel> -d
After many attempts to fix this it was finally found that simply removing the
explicit 9p2000.u version from the kernel command line 'fixed' the problem.
This even allows decreasing the RAM down to 256MB from 384MB and so far no
OOM's have been seen.
In debug mode the test context is printed before each test. This
adds some additional information in there:
Available Memory: /proc/meminfo: MemAvailable
Last Test Delta: Change in usage between current and last test
Per-test Usage: Graph of usage relative to all past tests. This is
useful for seeing a trend down/up of usage.
Running the tests inside a VM makes it difficult for the host to figure
out if the test actually failed or succeeded. For a human its easy to
read the results table, but for an automated system parsing this would
be fragile. This adds a new option --result <file> which writes PASS/FAIL
to the provided file once all tests are completed. Any failures results in
'FAIL' being written to the file.
This is created by the python interpreter for speed optimization
but poses problems if copied to /tmp since previous tests may
have already copied it leading to an exception.
It appears different versions of pyroute2 may or may not have
iwutil, and instead use pyroute2.IW() directly. Try the iwutil
way first, then pyroute2.IW()
After namespaces were added, the dbus address was customized to
be /tmp/dbus{0..N}. This prevented any dbus applications started
in the shell from working properly.
Set DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS to the environment prior to entering
the shell.
Since Process.processes is a weak reference dictionary any process
put in this dict will disappear if all references are lost. This
is much better than keeping a list in the Namespace which will hold
the references forever until test-runner manually kills them all at
the end of the test. This does still need to be done for daemon
processes but everything else can just go away when it is no longer
needed.
The test-runner logging is very basic and just dumps everything into files
per-test. This means any subtests are just appended to existing log files
which can be difficult to parse after the fact. This is especially hard
when IWD/Hostapd runs once for the entirety of the test (as opposed to
killing between tests).
This patch writes out a separator between each subtests in the form:
===== <file>:<function> =====
To do this all processes are now kept as weak references inside the
Process class itself. Process.write_separators() can be called which
will iterate through all running processes and write the provided
separator.
This also paves the way to remove the ctx.processes array which is more
trouble than its worth due to reference issues.
Note: For tests which start IWD this will have no effect as the separator
is written prior to the test running. For these tests though, it is
much easier to read the log files because you can clearly see when
IWD starts and exits.
Processes which were not explicitly killed ended up staying around
forever because they internally held references to other objects
such as GLib IO watches or write FDs.
This shuffles some code so these objects get cleaned up both when
explititly killed and after being waited for.
This was a placeholder at one point but modules grew to depend on it
being a string. Fix these dependencies and set the root namespace
name to None so there is no more special case needed to handle both
a named namespace and the original 'root' namespace.
Check whether verbose output is enabled for process name arg[0] before
prepending the "ip netns exec" part to arg since arg[0] is going to be
"ip" after that.
These modules only needed to be imported a single time for the entire
run of tests. This is significantly cheaper in terms of memory and
should prevent random OOM exceptions.
The Procss class was doing quite a bit of what Popen already does like
storing the return code and process arguments. In addition the Process
class ended up storing a Popen object which was frequently accessed.
For both simplicity and memory savings have Process inherit Popen and
add the additional functionality test-runner needs like stdout
processing to output files and the console.
To do this Popen.wait() needed to be overridden to to prevent blocking
as well as wait for the HUP signal so we are sure all the process
output was written. kill() was also overritten to perform cleanup.
The most intrusive change was removing wait as a kwarg, and instead
requiring the caller to call wait(). This doesn't change much in
terms of complexity to the caller, but simplifies the __init__
routine of Process.
Some convenient improvements:
- Separate multiple process instance output (Terminate: <args> will
be written to outfiles each time a process dies.)
- Append to outfile if the same process is started again
- Wait for HUP before returning from wait(). This allows any remaining
output to be written without the need to manually call process_io.
- Store ctx as a class variable so callers don't need to pass it in
(e.g. when using Process directly rather than start_process)
The -S/--sub-tests option allows the user to specify a test file
from inside an autotest. Inside this file there may also be many
test functions. This option is being extended to allow running
a single test function inside a test file. For example:
* Runs all test functions inside connection_test.py *
./test-runner -A some_test -S connection_test
* Runs only connection_test.py test_connect_success() *
./test-runner -A some_test -S connection_test.test_connect_success
There was a race condition here where the GLib timeout could have
fired but the test function returned successfully prior to the
end of the while loop. This would end up causing source_remove to
print a warning that the source did not exist.
Instead check if the timeout fired prior to removing it.
This addresses the TODO where HostapdCLI was creating separate
objects each time HostapdCLI was called. This was worked around
by manually setting the important members but instead the class
can be re-worked to act as somewhat of a singleton, per-config
at least.
If there is no HostapdCLI instance for a given config one is
created and initialized. Subsequent HostapdCLI calls (for the
same config) will be returned the same object rather than a
new one.
Tests that called skipTest would result in an exception which would
hault execution as it was uncaught. In addition this wouldn't result
in an skipped test.
Now the actual test run is surrounded in a try/except block, skipped
exceptions are handled specifically, and a stack trace is printed if
some other exception occurs.
dmesg was being called at the very end of testing and dumped into
a log file. If many tests were run this could take quite a long
time and was timing out the default process wait. Instead --follow
can be used (basically like 'tail') which prints messages as they
come and avoids the time consuming full dump at the end.
There was a common bit of code all over test-runner and utilities
which would wait for 'something' in a loop. At best these loops
would do the right thing and use the GLib.iteration call as to not
block the main loop, and at worst would not use it and just busy
wait.
Namespace.non_block_wait unifies all these into a single API to
a) do the wait correctly and b) prevent duplicate code.
While losing the convenience of unittest this patch breaks out
each individual test function in order to run it manually and
get results. This vastly improves the user experience by seeing
which test file and function is being executed rather than simply
seeing "PASSED" for the entire test set.
In addition exceptions/failures are printed out as they happen
rather than at the end.
With the addition of connect_bssid/roam very few tests actually
require hwsim. Since hwsim can lead to problems with scan results
its best to have it off by default and have each test that needs
it explicitly turn it on.
Tests which previously turned it off have had that option removed.
Tests that do require hwsim still are vulnerable to scan result
problems, so for these tests beacon_int was added to the hostapd
config which seems to help with reliability somewhat.
If a test has no hw.conf file test-runner was fully exiting and not
running any additional tests. This shouldn't happen in practice
since all upstreamed tests should run, but if any locally created
tests existed like this, it would cause the entire test run to exit
early.
Instead raise an exception which bails out of only that test, and
allows the rest to continue.
The Process class requires the ability to write out any processes
output to stdout, logging, or an explicit file, as well as store
it inside python for processing by test utilities. To accomplish
this each process was given a temporary file to write to, and that
file had an IO watch set on it. Any data that was written was then
read, and re-written out to where it needed to go. This ended up
being very buggy and quite complex due to needing to mess with
read/write pointers inside the file.
Popen already creates pipes to stdout if told, and they are accessable
via the p.stdout. Its then as simple as setting an IO watch on that
pipe and keeping the same code for reading out new data and writing
it to any files we want. This greatly reduces the complexity.
