Outstanding OSSTEST patch series

Outstanding OSSTEST patch series

[Ian Campbell]

Hi Ian,

I've got a few OSSTEST series out there which could use some review
attention, I'll list in decreasing order of priority (IMHO, YMMV, etc).

support for ARM32 arndale and cubietruck platforms

        v3 at <1416505070.26869.2.camel@citrix.com>
        
        Needed for new colo deployment since existing machine is not
        moving. New system is racked here in the meantime.
        
        About half acked, I think, but not many big consecutive lumps.
        
        I'm not sure if you were waiting for v4 with just the commit
        logs rewrapped or not. I have that locally if you want spamming
        a 4th time.
        
Implement for driving libvirt via virsh

        (I've just noticed that the title of this thread is nonsense...)
        
        v2 at <1417536141.29004.6.camel@citrix.com>
        
        No acks.
        
        Wei has (or will have?) some patches based on this (to add
        migration, which I punted on).
        
add distro domU testing flight

        v3 at <1417438571.29138.22.camel@citrix.com>
        
        A couple of acks.
        
        As well as enabling testing of Debian as a guest using D-I as a
        standalone flight (suitable for other distros to be added too),
        also enables pygrub and pvgrub (1 only for now) testing for
        regular flights (probably more valuable in the grand scheme of
        things).
        
        It also lays the ground work for testing non-LVM backed guests
        (qcow2, vhd and raw file for now), I have follow on patches
        which I haven't posted yet, I'll include it in v4 but it would
        be best to flush some of the queue before adding those to the
        mix I think.

I think the last postings are all still relevant to look at, but I can
resend if you prefer like (beware that they are 15, 18 & 19 patches
respectively, with the 19 having more added for v4...)

Ian.

Yes. I already have several patches on top of those to enable save /
restore and migration tests.

And also my XSM test series.

  V4 at <1418250095-13287-1-git-send-email-wei.liu2@citrix.com>

  Tests duplicated for xen-unstable branch:
    build-{i386,amd64,armhf}-xsm
    test-amd64-{i386,amd64}-{xl,libvirt}-xsm
    test-armhf-armhf-{xl,libvirt}-xsm
    test-amd64-{i386,amd64}-xl-qemuu-debianhvm-amd64-xsm
    test-amd64-(i386,amd64}-xl-qemut-debianhvm-amd64-xsm

Yes. I'd put that up equal with my libvirt series in terms of priority.

Other series I'm aware of are two from Dario, one laying the ground work
for benchmarks within osstest and the other to add cpupool tests (and a
patch to rationalize which schedulers we test, not sure if that was part
of the cpupool thing or not) and the nestedhvm ones from Intel.

Right, I forgot to mention Dario's patches.

I think that single scheduler patch is mostly orthogonal to his cpupool
test.

Thanks to both of you for that helpful summary.  I will try to find
some time for reviewing these.

Thanks for mentioning this. This has higher priority than the ones about
scheduler testing and cpupools.

They are independent. Actually, the one reorganizing scheduler jobs have
received feedback already, and the cpupool one needs resending.

Dario

Ian has asked me to push this along with my osstest patches to support
the new arm boards in the next couple of days.

Accordingly I'm planning to pick up the patch from
<20150108174702.12031.23149.stgit@Abyss.station> which was acked in
<21694.31314.512591.194074@mariner.uk.xensource.com>.

You've got a couple of days to tell me I'm wrong, since I'm awaiting a
push on the linux-arm-xen branch first.

Ian.

Please do - that will make it easier for me.

Thanks,
Ian.
