Hi!

Happy New Year everyone!

net-next is open, again, that said please expect review delays

Hi,

net-next is open again, and accepting changes for v6.10.

We seem to be in a good enough shape. For those trying to run selftests
locally - 9p has a UaF bug, see the testing tree for the fix we're
carrying locally. The changes in the timer subsystem also made a number
of tests flaky, beware.

Hi,

net-next is open again, and accepting changes for v6.9.

Over the merge window I spent some time stringing together selftest
runner for netdev: https://netdev.bots.linux.dev/status.html
It is now connected to patchwork, meaning there should be a check
posted to each patch indicating whether selftests have passed or not.

If you authored any net or drivers/net selftests, please look around
and see if they are passing. If not - send patches or LMK what I need
to do to make them pass on the runner.. Make sure to scroll down to 
the "Not reporting to patchwork" section.

Cool! Does it group a couple of patches together and run the tests or
run for each patch separately?

Yes, this could push the selftest authors help checking all the failures.

It groups all patches outstanding in patchwork (which build cleanly).
I'm hoping we could also do HW testing using this setup, so batching
is a must. Not 100% sure it's the right direction for SW testing but
there's one way to find out :)

Really cool. Thanks for spending time to make this happen.

Scanning the tests I wrote, I think most of the failures are config
related. e.g., fib-nexthops.sh needs MPLS and those config settings are
enabled in tools/testing/selftests/net/config.

Another one, fcnal-test, needs nettest built. From
https://netdev-2.bots.linux.dev/vmksft-net/results/432660/36-fcnal-test-sh:

# which: no nettest in
(/home/virtme/tools/fs/bin:/home/virtme/tools/fs/sbin:/home/virtme/tools/fs/usr/bin:/home/virtme/tools/fs/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin)

It is in the Makefile, so how should that dependency be defined for this
new environment?

Finally, how can people replicate this setup to validate changes to get
everything work correctly?

We run the tests with 

  make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net run_tests

the binary is there:

$ ls tools/testing/selftests/net/nettest
tools/testing/selftests/net/nettest

The script does:

if ! which nettest >/dev/null; then                                             
        PATH=$PWD:$PATH                                                         
        if ! which nettest >/dev/null; then                                     
                echo "'nettest' command not found; skipping tests"              
                exit $ksft_skip                                                 
        fi                                                                      
fi   

But that's not exactly the message that gets printed up top.
Is it coming from lib.sh? Not sure..

You can run the exact scripts the CI runs, they are pretty standalone.
But they don't do any magic, really, I'd start by trying the steps I
outlined in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240123093834.23ea172a@kernel.org/
and if you can't repro the failure LMK, I'll share more instructions
on replicating exactly.

You can set a test-group-specific timeout touching the 'settings' file
in the relevant directory. Note that for 'net' self-tests the timeout
is currently 3600 seconds (for each test).

AFAIK there is no way to set a single-test-specific timeout, without
running that specific test individually:

make install TARGETS=net
./kselftest_install/run_kselftest.sh -o <timeout in sec> -t net:fcnal-test.sh

Cheers,

Paolo

Actually, I simplified this one a little bit. What we do now is:

make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS={target} TEST_PROGS={prog} TEST_GEN_PROGS="" run_tests

This let's us run tests individually. This way we can put them in 
a FIFO and have multiple workers run them in parallel.

Yet another thing run_kselftest.sh can do that make can't :(
We should probably bite the bullet and switch to it at some point.

David, I applied your diff locally, hopefully I did it in time for the
7am Pacific run to have it included :)

This is the latest run:

https://netdev-2.bots.linux.dev/vmksft-net-mp/results/435141/1-fcnal-test-sh/stdout

the nettest warning is indeed gone, but the failures are the same:

$ grep FAIL stdout 
# TEST: ping local, VRF bind - VRF IP                                           [FAIL]

yep, I will send a formal patch. I see the timeout is high enough, so
good there.

known problems. I can disable the tests for now so we avoid regressions,
and add to the TO-DO list for someone with time.

Well, kinda, to be honest I did bump the time to 4000s locally.
The runtime of the entire net suite 1h 10min - that's pretty much
the runtime of this one test :) The VMs run the tests without
HW virtualization, so they are a bit slower, but it'd be nice
if no local hacks were necessary. 

I haven't sent a patch to bump it because it may make more sense
to split the test into multiple. But as a stop gap we can as well
bump the timeout.

The script has the tests in groups and each group can be run in parallel
(with Hangbin's recent namespace changes). I can look at splitting that
script into many (or write wrappers to run specific groups), but even
then most of those test groups need more than 45 seconds. There are lot
of permutations covered (with and without vrf, different address types,
different uapis, ...).

Sent a PR to fix a few things. I did not have to disable any tests -
everything passes cleanly with the changes. If tests fail after those
are applied, let's compare OS environments - maybe some sysctl is
enabled or disabled (or a CONFIG) in your environment.

still shows those 4 tests failing. since they pass on default Ubuntu
23.10, I need some information about the setup. What is the OS image in
use and any known changes to the sysctl settings?

Can I get `sysctl net > /tmp/sysctl.net` ? I will compare to Ubuntu and
see if I can figure out the difference and get those added to the script.

Here's a boot and run of the command (not sure how to export the file
form the VM so I captured all of stdout):

https://netdev-2.bots.linux.dev/vmksft-net-mp/results/sysctl-for-david

The OS is Amazon Linux, annoyingly.

It's a bug in that version of iputils ping. It sets the BINDTODEVICE and
then resets it because the source address is not set on the command line
(it should not be required).

There are a couple of workarounds - one which might not age well (ie.,
amazon linux moving forward to newer packages -I <addr> -I <vrf>) and
one that bypasses the purpose of the test (ip vrf exec)).

Could the script validate the 'ping' command WRT the bad behavior/bug
and  eventually skip the related tests?

Skipping if the package has a bug would be best, if we can figure that
out. The latest version is fixed, right? I can build it locally, just
like pretty much everything else..

yes, that is why Ubuntu 23.10 passes. I downloaded iputils, built ping
locally at the Amazon release version and did a side by side comparison
of behavior to verify it is the ping command.

Built iputils from git manually.
Could not figure out how to convince mason not to insert /local/ into
the install dir path so I copied the binaries manually :/ Seems to work,
tho.

Just to add to the choir: this is fantastic, thanks!

Hopefully it will encourage people to add kselftests, kunit tests or
other kinds that now get continuous coverage.

Going through the failing ksft-net series on
https://netdev.bots.linux.dev/status.html, all the tests I'm
responsible seem to be passing.

Here's a more handy link filtered down to failures (clicking on 
the test counts links here):

https://netdev.bots.linux.dev/contest.html?branch=net-next-2024-01-24--15-00&executor=vmksft-net-mp&pass=0

I have been attributing the udpg[rs]o and timestamp tests to you,
but I haven't actually checked.. are they not yours? :)

Ah, BTW, a major source of failures seems to be that iptables is
mapping to nftables on the executor. And either nftables doesn't
support the functionality the tests expect or we're missing configs :(
E.g. the TTL module.

I don't know if it is the same issue, but for MPTCP, we use
'iptables-legacy' if available.

Great! Thanks for the pointer. I installed the packages now,

I just looked at the result file and assumed 0 meant fine. Oops.

Technically udpgro is Paolo. But it is derived from udpgso.

But I'm on the hook for a few more. I added fq-band-pktlimit, our team
added gso and txtimestamp I supposed is owned by the maintainers by now.

Sorry about the confusion there, make run_tests apparently always
returns 0 and the result file holds the exit code :( It could be
improved by I figured, as long as the JSON output is correct, investing
the time in the web UI is probably a better choice than massaging 
the output files.

Some tests are failing because they need an xdp program build under the
ebpf directory.

Since such program is used even by ebpf tests, I'll send a patch
duplicating it under net, and using the existing rule for nat6to4 to
build it.

A whole bunch of them fail because of no IPv6 support in the runner
kernel. E.g. this from bridge-mdb.sh[0]:

    # Error: Rule family not supported.
    # Error: Rule family not supported.
    # sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding: No such file or directory
    # sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding: No such file or directory
    # RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

I'm surprised any passed at all, it's super common for tests to validate
their topology by pinging through, but I guess it's often just IPv4. I
think the fix is just this?

    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_IPV6

There are also a bunch of missing qdiscs, e.g. in [1], [2]. To fix:

    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_SCH_TBF
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_SCH_PRIO
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_SCH_ETS

Regarding sch_red.sh[3], I worry the test will be noisy, and suspect it
does not make sense to run it in automated fashion. But if you think
it's worth a try:

    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_SCH_RED

Then there are a bunch of missing netdevices. VXLAN[4]:

    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_VXLAN

and GRE [5], which I think needs all of these:

    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_IPIP
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_IPV6_GRE
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_IPGRE_DEMUX
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_IPGRE

And TC actions [6]. I think the following will be necessary for some of
the tests (we enable BPF as well internally).

    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_ACT_GACT
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_ACT_MIRRED
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_ACT_SAMPLE
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_ACT_VLAN
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_ACT_SKBEDIT
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_ACT_PEDIT
    $ scripts/config -k -m CONFIG_NET_ACT_POLICE

Hopefully the above should clean up the results a bit, I can take
another sweep afterwards.

Hi

Probably also missing is CONFIG_GENEVE
81-l2-tos-ttl-inherit-sh check operation with gre, vxlan and geneve, but 
modprobes first if the module is actually available. If it isn't, it 
just continues and doesn't fail.

Also there seems to be something wrong with ending, see 
https://netdev-2.bots.linux.dev/vmksft-net/results/433200/81-l2-tos-ttl-inherit-sh
The test outputs the results in a table with box drawing characters 
(┌─┬┐├─┼┤└─┴┘)

It looks like whatever is serving the output should use MIME of
"text/plain;charset=UTF-8" instead of just "text/plain".

😮️ interesting. The table characters are not part of ASCII, right? 
So it must be using some extended charset. Firefox hid the option

Yeah, the table is UTF-8.

My guess would be ISO-8859-1, but dunno. The developer console shows
Firefox has had to guess the encoding, but not what guess it made.

It seems weird to guess anything but UTF-8 in this day and age. Maybe
the logic is that modern web has correct content-type, because it needs
UTF-8, so if it doesn't declare encoding, it's something ancient.

Ah, sorry, I read your message backwards. I remember fixing the encoding
on the NIPA nginx to make it utf-8 so I thought you said it's utf-8
and should be something else... But the runner has a separate
instance, and there the charset is indeed not set. Fixed now!

Thanks a lot for investigating! I take it that you're looking at
forwarding? Please send a patch to add the missing configs to

tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/config

The runner uses that to configure the kernel on top of defconfig.

Unless I'm doing it wrong and the sub-directories are supposed to
inherit the parent directory's config? So net/forwarding/ should
be built with net/'s config? I could not find the info in docs,
does anyone know?

I don't think they are, net/config defines CONFIG_VXLAN, but then the
vxlan tests still complain about unknown device type. Though maybe
there's another device type that it's missing...

What do I do to feed the config file to some build script to get a
kernel image to test? I can of course just do something like
cat config | xargs -n1 scripts/config -m, but I expect there's some
automation for it and I just can't find it.

The CI script is based on virtme-ng. So it does this:

# $target is net or net/forwarding or drivers/net/bonding etc.
make mrproper
vng -v -b -f tools/testing/selftests/$target
# build the scripts
make headers
make -C tools/testing/selftests/$target

vng -v -r arch/x86/boot/bzImage --user root
# inside the VM
make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=$target run_tests

https://github.com/kuba-moo/nipa/blob/master/contest/remote/vmksft.py#L138

You're right, it definitely does not "inherit" net's config when
running forwarding/net. I can easily make it do so, but I'm not clear
what the expectation from the kselftest subsystem is. Because if other
testers (people testing stable, KernelCI etc. et.c) don't "inherit" we
better fill in the config completely so that the tests pass for
everyone.

Actually:

# vng -v -b -f tools/testing/selftests/${target}/config

Didn't know about vng, it's way cool!
(Despite having used virtme for a long time.)

I'm working my way through the selftests.

Oh, gotcha, the question was not whether it does, but whether it's
supposed to. OK.

IMHO not necessarily. net/config is for net/*.sh, net/forwarding/config
for net/forwarding/*.sh. It's not a given that whatever is needed for
net/ is needed for net/forwarding/ as well.

It will also lead to simpler patches, where enabling config options in
X/ doesn't imply checking for newly useless duplicities in X's child
directories.

selftests-net/test-bridge-neigh-suppress-sh should be fixed by:

dnf install ndisc6

selftests-net/test-bridge-backup-port-sh should be fixed by:

Thanks!

The last two tests look good now, but the first still fails. Can you
share the ndisc6 version information? I tested with [1] from [2].

If your copy of ndisc6 indeed works, then I might be missing some
sysctl. I will be AFK tomorrow so I will look into it later this week.

Hm. Looks like our versions match. I put the entire tools root dir up on
HTTP now: https://netdev-2.bots.linux.dev/tools/fs/ in case you wanna
fetch the exact binary, it only links with libc, it seems.

I tried with your binary and on other setups and I'm unable to reproduce
the failure. From the test output it seems the NS is never sent. If you
can, attaching the verbose test output might help:

./test_bridge_neigh_suppress.sh -t neigh_suppress_ns -v

Hi!

net-next is now open for patches!


Minor general development - I've created a mail bot for updating the
patch state in patchwork. You should be able to discard your own series
from patchwork by replying to it with "pw-bot: changes-requested" on
a separate line somewhere in the email. The author of the patch and
the From in the reply must match exactly.

The code is in "public alpha" so it may crash / not work, feel free 
to ping me if that happens. I'll send a separate announcement once
it feels more stable.

There is a public activity log here:
