[PATCH v2 0/4] tests/functional: Fix ppc64 issue with make -j

[PATCH v2 0/4] tests/functional: Fix ppc64 issue with make -j

[Fabiano Rosas]

As reported in [1], running the ppc64 functional tests in parallel is
currently broken due to one test importing another and causing
unittest.main to instantiate the imported test twice. Fix by removing
the dependency between tests.

[PATCH v2 1/4] tests/functional/migration: Use socket_dir

[Fabiano Rosas]

Use QemuBaseTest.socket_dir instead of calling tempfile directly so
all tests have consistent directory prefixes.

[PATCH v2 2/4] tests/functional/migration: Add migrate_vms

[Fabiano Rosas]

Add a migration helper to MigrationTest that uses the migrate-incoming
QMP commmand and takes the already instantiated VMs. The -incoming
'defer' command line option is preferred way instead of the -incoming
URI syntax that's currently used.

[PATCH v2 3/4] tests/functional/migration: Use the migrate_vms helper

[Fabiano Rosas]

Change do_migrate() to call the migrate_vms() helper and provide it
with the two VMs already created. Rename do_migrate -> migrate and
adjust the callers.

While here, standardize on the "src" and "dst" names.

[PATCH v2 4/4] tests/functional/ppc64: Remove custom migration routine

[Fabiano Rosas]

Don't implement a custom migration routine at PpcMigrationTest and
instead reuse the generic one from MigrationTest.

This removes the dependency of PpcMigrationTest from
PseriesMachine. Having one test import another causes unittest code to
instantiate the imported test, resulting in the setup and teardown
methods being invoked for the imported test class, even if no test
from that class will be executed.

If run in parallel, the extra setup/teardown methods that result from
importing can race with the ones from the actual test being executed
and cause the following error:

File "<SRC_DIR>/tests/functional/qemu_test/testcase.py", line 238, in tearDown
shutil.rmtree(self.workdir)
...
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'<SRC_DIR>/build/tests/functional/ppc64/.../test_migration_with_exec/scratch'

I wonder if PseriesMachine would be better to inherit directly from
MigrationTest, to avoid the timeout setup and temp QemuSystemTest to be
created on the fly (I'm not familiar with the test framework on side
effects).  But I don't see a major issue with it either so far.

I think I'd also prefer to inherit directly from MigrationTest.
You could put the test_ppc64_linux_migration() method into a separate class 
that inherits from MigrationTest, while the other test_* methods stay in the 
old class, so that there is for sure no impact on the other tests.
(Having multiple test classes in one file is fine, we have that in a couple 
of other places already).

A new class will make it cumbersome to access the class attributes from
PseriesMachine:

    KERNEL_COMMON_COMMAND_LINE = 'printk.time=0 console=hvc0 '
    panic_message = 'Kernel panic - not syncing'
    good_message = 'VFS: Cannot open root device'
    ASSET_KERNEL = Asset(...

The "best" way is to make the whole class inherit from MigrationTest. If
you're ok with that I can send a v3.

Thank you for fixing the issue Fabiano. Now I don't see any issues 
running the tests in parallel.

Re: [PATCH v2 4/4] tests/functional/ppc64: Remove custom migration routine

Hello all,

Just a ping, the issue still exists with functional tests for ppc64 
failing when run in parallel.

Can we get this merged ?

There were suggestions for improvements that were not addressed:

  https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/eedee23c-39dd-4c1a-94e4-d7f1eb0c9d2e@redhat.com/

I don't insist on that change, but I think we should at least have a common 
understanding on whether we want it or not. Fabiano, could you please 
comment on that?
