Kernelci Job Start Delays

Kernelci Job Start Delays

[Joseph Salisbury]

Hello,

I've been seeing some long delays with the start of kernelci tests, 
after uploading v5.15-rt based kernels.  I think Luis Goncalves is 
seeing similar delays with other branches, so he is cc'd.

For example, I uploaded v5.15.153-rt75 on April 1st, but kernelci is 
still not showing it.  That last kernel showing as tested is 
v5.15.148-rt74.

Is there a known issue that may be causing these delays?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joseph,

I am glad that you reached out. It seems you are pointing out yet another aging sign of our legacy system. For broad context on that, check our recent blog post[1].

The best way of solving your issues would be to move your testing to the new system. The best plan for the legacy system right now is to shut it down in the coming months. As we said in the blog post, we are starting small in number of tests and scaling it step by step, but always with community engagement to evaluate the results. If you want to come on board with the rt testing, we would be happy to start a plan to make that happen.

Let me know if that is an avenue you would like to explore. If yes, I'd be interested in knowing which tests you are running.

Best,

- Gus

Hi Joseph,

Just following up on this to check if you want to initiate the 
transition of rt tests to our new system. Let us know.

Regards,

Gustavo

Hi GUstavo,

Yes, it would be great to try the new system.  I will be generating a 
new 5.15 version this week.  I'll let you know when I'm ready.

Thanks again!

Joe

Hi Gustavo,

I just uploaded a new version:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/5/3/811

Is there something I need to do initiate the transition to your new system?

Thanks,

Joe

We need to first enable build tests on your tree.

You can follow this example: 
https://github.com/kernelci/kernelci-pipeline/pull/502

Basically you need to add your tree under `trees:`, so kernelci knows 
which trees to monitor. You need to add a `kbuild-...` job under `jobs:` 
and an entry under `platforms:` so kernelci knows where to run.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding that.

Thanks
Helen
