[PATCH 0/9] Make use of the redirection of guest serial

[Jason Wang]

The guest console is useful for troubleshooting the failure cases
especially for the one who has calltrace. And the session through it
is also useful for the networking related test cases ( consider the
test which could shutdown or crash the guest network ). so this
patchset first redirects the guest serial to unix domain socket and
then could log the guest serial through a thread or make it as a
method of session. The last patch makes all linux guests to use serial as
their consoles through unattended files.

[PATCH 1/9] KVM test: Introduce the prompt assist

[Jason Wang]

Sometimes we need to send an assist string to a session in order to
get the prompt especially when re-connecting to an already logged
serial session. This patch send the assist string before doing the
pattern matching of remote_login.

Can you give an example of a prompt assist string, and a typical usage
example?  What guests require prompt assist strings?

It was just used by serial console, consider when the first test case 
have already connected to the serial console, so the second test must 
send something in order to get the prompt string. But it may be better 
to log out during when the session is closed.

This has a upside of making things cleaner, I'd consider that.

[PATCH 2/9] KVM test: Add the ability to send the username in remote_login()

[Jason Wang]

In order to let the serial console work, we must let the
remote_login() send the username when needed.

Same here: PEP 8 says no spaces around keyword arguments or default
values, and pretty much all of the KVM test code conforms with PEP 8, so
let's be consistent.

[PATCH 3/9] KVM test: Make the login re suitable for serial console

Current matching re ^\s*[Ll]ogin:\s*$ is not suitable for the serial
console, so change it to [Ll]ogin:.

This RE will also match

"Last login: Wed Apr 28 14:07:28 2010 from localhost.localdomain"

so we should probably settle for [Ll]ogin:\s*$.

[PATCH 5/9] KVM test: Log the content from guest serial console

[Jason Wang]

This patch tries to get the content of guest serial and log it into
the debug directoy of the testcase through a dedicated thread which is
created in the preprocessing and ended in the postprocessing. The
params of serial_mode must be set to "dump" in order to make use of
this feature.

You should probably add "and not vm.is_dead()" to this condition.
Otherwise we'll get lots of "could not connect to serial socket"
messages for dead VMs.

Style note: AFAIK in the Autotest project the form "if not vm in files"
is preferred.

For consistency, please consider changing this list to a tuple, i.e.
s, d = files[vm] or (s, d) = files[vm].

[PATCH 6/9] KVM test: Raise error when met unknown type in kvm_vm.remote_login().

[Jason Wang]

Need to raise the error when met the unknown type of shell_client in
kvm_vm.remote_login() in order to avoid the traceback.

In order to keep consistency, please make the function return None
instead of throwing an exception. You might log the message as a
logging.error() record.

[PATCH 7/9] KVM test: Introduce the local_login()

[Jason Wang]

This patch introduces a new method which is used to log into the guest
through the guest serial console. The serial_mode must be set to
"session" in order to make use of this patch.

In what cases would we want to use this feature?  The serial console is
not supported by all guests and I'm not sure it supports multiple
concurrent sessions (does it?), so it's probably not possible to use it
reliably as a replacement for the regular remote shell servers, or even
as an alternative variant.

You probably meant to pass the prompt assist string to remote_login()
but instead you're passing "".

We could not get system log by ssh session when network doesn't work(haven't
launched, down, unstable, ...) Using serial console can get more useful info.
Control guest by ssh in some network related testcases isn't credible. It should
be independent.

Can you provide a usage example?  Which test is going to use this and
how?  Do you think it should be used in existing tests or in new tests only?

We plan to push some network related tests in the next few weeks, so 
it's important to use a serial based console rather than network based 
one ( our test s may load/unload the nic driver, do the stress testing 
which may cause the session created by remote_login() not responsible)

As I said, I just send a empty line in order to get the the prompt

[PATCH 8/9] KVM test: Create the background threads before calling process()

[Jason Wang]

If the screendump and scrialdump threads are created after the
process(), we may lose the progress tracking of guest shutting
down. So this patch creates them before calling process() in preprocess.

The initial shutdown procedure is carried out automatically by the
preprocessor in order to prepare the VMs for the current test, and is
not part of the test.  During the procedure VMs from a previous test are
shut down and/or restarted.  I think it'll be confusing (or at least
irrelevant) for the user to see a Fedora guest shutting down at the
beginning of a Windows test.  Also, it will be inconsistent with the
pre_*.ppm screendumps which are taken after the new VMs are started.

Agreed. Besides, if we didn't specify kill_vm for that particular
test, it means that we are not terribly interested on what happens
with the VM if it has to be shutdown (worst case scenario is, the
postprocessor will quit the VM). Of course, it is allways scary to
loose information, but I can't think on why we'd need that info anyway
(correct me if I am wrong).

[PATCH 9/9] KVM test: Redirect the console to serial for all linux guests

[Jason Wang]

As we have the ability to dump the content from serial console or use
a session through it, we need to redirect the console to serial
through unattended files to make use of it.

I see no reason to completely silence the regular console.  We can let
some output go to the regular console as well as the serial one by using

--append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0"
