[PATCH RFC] tests/acceptance: add a test for devices on s390x

[PATCH RFC] tests/acceptance: add a test for devices on s390x

[Cornelia Huck]

This adds a very basic test for checking that we present devices
in a way that Linux can consume: boot with both virtio-net-ccw and
virtio-net-pci attached and then verify that Linux is able to see
and detect these devices.

A very basic test, but it would have caught the recent zPCI regression.

If anyone has a better idea than using early debug shells in the Debian
install image, please let me know. At least it's quick, as we can check
for the devices quite early in the boot sequence.

Not sure if running under both kvm and tcg on an s390 host would add
useful extra coverage. Also not sure if this needs fencing on any of the
public CIs (have not tried yet).

We're only running the acceptance tests in the gitlab-CI, no worries about
the others.

s390x_devices.py ?

Or maybe even machine_s390x.py instead, like the other machine*.py files?

Running on public CIs can be slow ... I'd maybe directly start with 90 or
120 here.

Maybe use '-device', 'virtio-net-pci,addr=6' or something similar to check a
non-default PCI address, too?

Additional ideas (likely for later patches): Set a custom mac address for
the virtio-net devices and check whether they show up correctly in the
guest... Use "ping" to send some packets around (with -netdev user)...

Ok; I found it hard to pick a sensible value here.

Not sure if addr= will do the trick, I may need to add a zpci device.

This needs a fully running userspace, though. I was planning on adding
more device types first.

This is the simplest cheaper way I think.

Alternative is to use Guenter's images:

Feel free to use whatever name/directory structure that help others to
find your tests (don't forget to add an entry to MAINTAINERS).

I tried to use these, but it seems I would need a kernel with the
relevant drivers built-in for that, and neither Fedora nor Debian seem
to do that. Maybe I'm holding it wrong, but I think I'll just stick to
my current approach, as I have that one working :)

Good point, I forgot about an explicit MAINTAINERS entry.

It seems I need both a zpci device (to specify the uid) and a newer
kernel (so that the uid is actually used to construct the address in
the guest). I guess I should use snapshots.debian.org to get a stable
link to a newer version?

Not sure ... I assume the links to archive.debian.org are less likely to
change? So maybe simply forget about testing a different PCI address for
now, the default should be good enough for a simple check.

PS: Seems like at least "ip addr" is working there already - so you could at
least check the MAC address setting?

I'd expect the snapshot.debian.org links to be stable as well (we
already use them in some places). The problem is that what is currently
available at archive.debian.org is really quite ancient (3.16 based is
the newest...). If we want to test something that at least resembles
real life usage, we should use at least use a 4.x kernel. The kernels
that do something with the uid will also end up using different default
pci addresses if no uid is provided, so the 0000:00:00.0 seems quite
unrealistic to come up nowadays.

I'd prefer to do this in an add-on patch :)
