Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] tests/functional: Add remote interrupts test for PowerNV
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:34:04 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629110411.3051274-2-adityag@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629110411.3051274-1-adityag@linux.ibm.com>
In the past there have been hard to recreate issues where XIVE changes
cause qemu crashes due to multi-socket interrupts such as in [1].
Add a functional test explicitly to test whether remote interrupts work.
The test can also work as additional boot test for multi-socket boot,
initrd boot test, as well as a check for e1000e to be working in powernv,
though that's not a target goal, and are additional benefits.
From docs/system/devices/net.rst:
In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping
the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range
10.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server.
Hence use 10.0.2.2 with ping.
