[PATCH net-next v4 00/12] selftests/vsock: refactor and improve vmtest infrastructure

[Bobby Eshleman]

Hey all,

This patch series refactors the vsock selftest VM infrastructure to
improve test run times, improve logging, and prepare for future tests
which make heavy usage of these refactored functions and have new
requirements such as simultaneous QEMU processes.

These patches were broken off from this prior series:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251021-vsock-vmtest-v7-0-0661b7b6f081@meta.com/

To: Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com>
To: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org>
Cc: virtualization@lists.linux.dev
Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org
Cc: linux-kselftest@vger.kernel.org
Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
Cc: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org>

Changes in v4:
- fix messed up rebase (wrt check_result() and shared_vm_test() patches)
- more consistent variable quotes style
- use associative array for pidfiles, remove after terminate
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251106-vsock-selftests-fixes-and-improvements-v3-0-519372e8a07b@meta.com

Changes in v3:
- see per-patch changes
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251104-vsock-selftests-fixes-and-improvements-v2-0-ca2070fd1601@meta.com

Changes in v2:
- remove "Fixes" for some patches because they do not fix bugs in
  kselftest runs (some fix bugs only when using bash args that kselftest
  does not use or otherwise prepare functions for new usage)
- broke out one fixes patch for "net"
- per-patch changes
- add patch for shellcheck declaration to disable false positives
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251022-vsock-selftests-fixes-and-improvements-v1-0-edeb179d6463@meta.com

[PATCH net-next v4 01/12] selftests/vsock: improve logging in vmtest.sh

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Improve usability of logging functions. Remove the test name prefix from
logging functions so that logging calls can be made deeper into the call
stack without passing down the test name or setting some global. Teach
log function to accept a LOG_PREFIX variable to avoid unnecessary
argument shifting.

Remove log_setup() and instead use log_host(). The host/guest prefixes
are useful to show whether a failure happened on the guest or host side,
but "setup" doesn't really give additional useful information. Since all
log_setup() calls happen on the host, lets just use log_host() instead.

Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Changes in v4:
- add quotes to "${redirect}" for consistency

Changes in v2:
- add quotes around $@ in log_{host,guest} (Simon)
- remove unnecessary cat for piping into awk (Simon)

Changes from previous series:
- do not use log levels, keep as on/off switch, after revising the other
  patch series the levels became unnecessary.

[PATCH net-next v4 02/12] selftests/vsock: make wait_for_listener() work even if pipefail is on

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Rewrite wait_for_listener()'s pattern matching to avoid tripping the
if-condition when pipefail is on.

awk doesn't gracefully handle SIGPIPE with a non-zero exit code, so grep
exiting upon finding a match causes false-positives when the pipefail
option is used (grep exits, SIGPIPE emits, and awk complains with a
non-zero exit code). Instead, move all of the pattern matching into awk
so that SIGPIPE cannot happen and the correct exit code is returned.

Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>
---
Changes in v2:
- use awk-only tcp port lookup
- remove fixes tag because this problem is only introduced when a later
  patch enables pipefail for other reasons (not yet in tree)

[PATCH net-next v4 03/12] selftests/vsock: reuse logic for vsock_test through wrapper functions

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Add wrapper functions vm_vsock_test() and host_vsock_test() to invoke
the vsock_test binary. This encapsulates several items of repeat logic,
such as waiting for the server to reach listening state and
enabling/disabling the bash option pipefail to avoid pipe-style logging
from hiding failures.

[PATCH net-next v4 04/12] selftests/vsock: avoid multi-VM pidfile collisions with QEMU

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Change QEMU to use generated pidfile names instead of just a single
globally-defined pidfile. This allows multiple QEMU instances to
co-exist with different pidfiles. This is required for future tests that
use multiple VMs to check for CID collissions.

Additionally, this also places the burden of killing the QEMU process
and cleaning up the pidfile on the caller of vm_start(). To help with
this, a function terminate_pidfiles() is introduced that callers use to
perform the cleanup. The terminate_pidfiles() function supports multiple
pidfile removals because future patches will need to process two
pidfiles at a time.

Change QEMU_OPTS to be initialized inside the vm_start(). This allows
the generated pidfile to be passed to the string assignment, and
prepares for future vm-specific options as well (e.g., cid).

Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Changes in v4:
- use terminate_pidfiles() in cleanup (Simon)
- use associative array for PIDFILES and remove pidfiles as they are
  terminated (Simon)

Changes in v3:
- do not add unneeded -u to mktemp (Stefano)
- quote $PIDFILE_TEMPLATE (Stefano)
- do not remove cleanup(). Though it is expected that vm_start() does
  not exit(2) and its caller is responsible for pidfile cleanup,
  retaining cleanup() on EXIT is worth keeping as ill-timed kill signals
  (i.e., during manual runs) may leak those files.
- add create_pidfile() function to generate pidfile and automatically
  add it to array for cleanup() to terminate and remove later.

Changes in v2:
- mention QEMU_OPTS changes in commit message (Simon)

[PATCH net-next v4 05/12] selftests/vsock: do not unconditionally die if qemu fails

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

If QEMU fails to boot, then set the returncode (via timeout) instead of
unconditionally dying. This is in preparation for tests that expect QEMU
to fail to boot. In that case, we just want to know if the boot failed
or not so we can test the pass/fail criteria, and continue executing the
next test.

[PATCH net-next v4 06/12] selftests/vsock: speed up tests by reducing the QEMU pidfile timeout

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Reduce the time waiting for the QEMU pidfile from three minutes to five
seconds. The three minute time window was chosen to make sure QEMU had
enough time to fully boot up. This, however, is an unreasonably long
delay for QEMU to write the pidfile, which happens earlier when the QEMU
process starts (not after VM boot). The three minute delay becomes
noticeably wasteful in future tests that expect QEMU to fail and wait a
full three minutes for a pidfile that will never exist.

[PATCH net-next v4 07/12] selftests/vsock: add check_result() for pass/fail counting

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Add check_result() function to reuse logic for incrementing the
pass/fail counters. This function will get used by different callers as
we add different types of tests in future patches (namely, namespace and
non-namespace tests will be called at different places, and re-use this
function).

[PATCH net-next v4 08/12] selftests/vsock: identify and execute tests that can re-use VM

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

In preparation for future patches that introduce tests that cannot
re-use the same VM, add functions to identify those that *can* re-use a
VM.

By continuing to re-use the same VM for these tests we can save time by
avoiding the delay of booting a VM for every test.

[Bobby Eshleman]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Add vsock_loopback module loading to the loopback test so that vmtest.sh
can be used for kernels built with loopback as a module.

This is not technically a fix as kselftest expects loopback to be
built-in already (defined in selftests/vsock/config). This is useful
only for using vmtest.sh outside of kselftest.

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Disable shellcheck rules SC2317 and SC2119. These rules are being
triggered due to false positives. For SC2317, many `return
"${KSFT_PASS}"` lines are reported as unreachable, even though they are
executed during normal runs. For SC2119, the fact that
log_guest/log_host accept either stdin or arguments triggers SC2119,
despite being valid.
