[LTP] [PATCH v5 0/7] Add support for .max_kver

[Petr Vorel]

Hi all,

Changes v4->v5:
* Remove code which does metadata validation (3 commits, Cyril).
* Add commit to fix creat07.c timeout on test failure (agent).
* Use proper name for function (underscore at the end)
* Add one more test, increase max_kver in the test added previous
  version.

Could this avoid referring to the next patch so that the commit message is
self-contained? For example, it could say that the rename makes room for a
corresponding maximum kernel-version check.

--- [PATCH 3/7] ---

Should this say ".max_kver" instead? This paragraph documents the new maximum
version semantics, and the corresponding header uses max_kver.

--- [PATCH 6/7] ---

Could the changed PIDFD/TID expectation be handled without skipping the whole
test on 7.2? The second case,
FAN_REPORT_PIDFD | FAN_REPORT_FID | FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME, is still a valid
success case in the 7.2 fanotify_init() implementation, and no other LTP test
uses that exact combination. The newly supported PIDFD/TID combination is not
exercised elsewhere either.

--- [PATCH 7/7] ---

> + * Basic test to test that .min_kver and .max_kver can be used together.
> + * Test should TCONF or TPASS.

Could this test use bounds that make TPASS deterministic? runtest.sh accepts
both TPASS and TCONF, so a regression that always rejects tests whenever both
fields are set still leaves this self-test green. On kernels newer than 7.2,
the callback is not exercised at all.

Verdict - Needs revision

The agent can sometimes produce false positives although often its

I would not really bother with it.

Yes, I need to amend the commit message before merging.

No, kernel maintainers are ok with it as changing the test would be a bit complicated
(and I've been mentioning this on every version).

Well, last time I had old version and it asked for 7.2. Anyway, this was exactly
the reason why I had 5.0 last time. I can change to whatever version somebody
suggests, maybe going back to 5.0 would be good.

[LTP] [PATCH v5 3/7] lib: Add support for max_kver to struct tst_test and tst_fs

[Petr Vorel]

max_kver adds a support to require a maximal kernel version the test can
run on. e.g. "7.2" (mainline release) or "6.1.180" (stable release).

NOTE: Mainline release is sufficient on any stable release (test with
.min_kver = "7.1" runs also on kernel 7.1.5). Stable releases are
compared as expected.

[LTP] [PATCH v5 6/7] fanotify20: Skip on v7.2

[Petr Vorel]

fanotify_init() used to reject FAN_REPORT_PIDFD combined with
FAN_REPORT_TID with EINVAL. Since Linux v7.2, fanotify supports
reporting pidfds for thread IDs, so this combination is expected to
succeed.

The test that these flag combinations are allowed:
                FLAGS_DESC(FAN_REPORT_PIDFD | FAN_REPORT_TID),
		FLAGS_DESC(FAN_REPORT_PIDFD | FAN_REPORT_FID |
			   FAN_REPORT_DFID_NAME),

Because the above flag combinations are already "tested" by the tests
that use them and we don't have any tests that >= 5.10 has support for
FAN_MARK_FILESYSTEM etc just simply skip the test on v7.2.

* tst_max_kver_old.c
Basic test to test .max_kver detection works. Test should TCONF due
running on newer kernel.

* tst_min_kver_max_kver.c
Basic test to test that .min_kver and .max_kver can be used together.
Test should TCONF or TPASS.

this test is a bit weird, it's system dependent and it will TPASS or
TCONF according to the kernel version. Is there a way to test this
in a different way? I know it's hacky, but maybe we can use
__attribute__((constructor)) and fetch uname() info before running
the maximum kernel version check.

Although this is an interesting idea, I'm not sure if I find time for it. Feel
free to further improve it. For me is in the end trying to fix fanotify20 :).

The point of the test is to at least run something (kind of minimal testing but
better than nothing, because it's naive to expect anybody who touches library
tests it carefully with the real tests).

Anyway, in CI it will be always the same due using container (TPASS on Ubuntu's
6.17.0-1020-azure).

Kind regards,
Petr
