subprocess.Popen's wait() method was overwritten to be non-blocking but
in certain circumstances you do want to wait forever. Fix this to allow
timeout=None, which calls the parent wait() method directly.
The kernel will not let us test some scenarios of communication between
two hwsim radios (e.g. STA and AP) if they're in the same net namespace.
For example, when connected, you can't add normal IPv4 subnet routes for
the same subnet on two different interfaces in one namespace (you'd
either get an EEXIST or you'd replace the other route), you can set
different metrics on the routes but that won't fix IP routing. For
testNetconfig the result is that communication works for DHCP before we
get the inital lease but renewals won't work because they're unicast.
Allow hostapd to run on a radio that has been moved to a different
namespace in hw.conf so we don't have to work around these issues.
In UML if any process dies while test-runner is waiting for the DBus
service or some socket to be available it will block forever. This
is due to the way the non_block_wait works.
Its not optimal but it essentially polls over some input function
until the conditions are met. And, depending on the input function,
this can cause UML to hang since it never has a chance to go idle
and advance the time clock.
This can be fixed, at least for services/sockets, by sleeping in
the input function allowing time to pass. This will then allow
test-runner to bail out with an exception.
This patch adds a new wait_for_service function which handles this
automatically, and wait_for_socket was refactored to behave
similarly.
This function was checking if the process object exists, which can
persist long after a process is killed, or dies unexpectedly. Check
that the actual PID exists by sending signal 0.
The new regex match update was actually matching way more than it should
have due to how python's 'match' API works. 'match' will return successfully
if zero or more characters match from the beginning of the string. In this
case we actually need the entire regex to match otherwise we start matching
all prefixes, for example:
"--verbose iwd" will match iwd, iwd-dhcp, iwd-acd, iwd-genl and iwd-tls.
Instead use re.fullmatch which requires the entire string to match the
regex.
Enabling this ends up dumping so much logging and, at least with namespaces,
seems to break the logger module and cause really weird behavior, worst of
which is that all processes start dumping to stdout.
This can still be enabled explicitly with --verbose iwd-rtnl, but is turned
off by default when --log is used.
The glob match was completely broken for --verbose because globs
are actually path matches, not generally for strings. Instead
match based on regular expressions.
First the verbose option was fixed to store it as an array as well
as write any list arguments into the kernel command line properly
(str() would include []). This has worked up until now because the
'in' keyword in python will work on strings just as well
as lists, for example:
>>> 'test' in 'this,is,a,test'
True
Then, the glob match was replaced with a regex match. Any exceptions
are caught and somewhat ignored (printed, but only seen with --debug).
This only guards against fatal exceptions from a user passing an
invalid expression.
Many processes are not long running (e.g. hostapd_cli, ip, iw, etc)
and the separators written to log files don't show up for these which
makes debugging difficult. This is even true for IWD/Hostapd for tests
with start_iwd=0.
After writing separators for long running processes write them out for
any additional log files too.
Way too many classes have a dependency on the TestContext class, in
most cases only for is_verbose. This patch removes the dependency from
Process and Namespace classes.
For Process, the test arguments can be parsed in the class itself which
will allow for this class to be completely isolated into its own file.
The Namespace class was already relatively isolated. Both were moved
into utils.py which makes 'run-tests' quite a bit nicer to look at and
more fitting to its name.
