Since we've started work on upstream merge, there's a wealth of patches that were not integrated to kvm autotest that now needs to be re-worked and eventually integrated to the upstream kvm test. I've made a list, and I am copying the patch authors, so we make a task force to re-work and integrate the outstanding patches, helping to make our transition to upstream development smoother. I would like to help on whatever is needed to get the test code in good shape so we can move on to grow our functional test base. We have several patches already reviewed and fairly straightforward to rebase/apply. I am willing to rebase them and already send to the mailing list. If I hear no further comments on them, they will be applied. I mark them as 'Low hanging fruit' on the list below. Other patches need a bit more work on them, so I marked them as 'Need rework'. When I felt necessary, I added some comments. Allways when possible, I've put a kerneltrap mailing list archive URL to the patch summary. We have a git tree that mirrors autotest upstream, so feel free to clone it to rework your patches, I believe it's the fastest way to start doing it: http://github.com/ehabkost/autotest/tree/master I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences the merge upstream has caused, and let's work hard to get rid of this backlog. Hopefully soon things will be much smoother for everyone. Patch queue: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Huff (dhuff@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) Move kvm functional tests to a 'test' directory http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/26/5812453 For the sake of organization and extensibility, this is one of the things I would like to see done. Something that does not require us to explicitely register tests on the kvm test class would be handy, and having all tests under a 'tests' directory seems a Good Thing (TM) to pursue. Needs rework 2) Fix to allow for "=" in the "value" of a config parameter http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/21/5790533/thread Low hanging fruit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yogi (anantyog@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) 1) Support for remote migration http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/4/30/5607344/thread This is one of the things we should pursue. Remote migration needs to be stressed out then I ask Yogi to rework his patch, and would like to help to get this in good shape for inclusion. Needs rework -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bear Yang (byang@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) Time drift test http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/13/5778283/thread After some discussion with Yaniv Yakul (ykaul@xxxxxxxxxx) and Bear, it was uncertain to me what to do next. I am all for including it, and indeed we can drop the ntp synchronization between hosts. Needs rework -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucas Rodrigues (lmr@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) Install refactor http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/6/3/5868753/thread Already re-worked against upstream. Needs to be reviewed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Goldish (mgoldish@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) RHEL-4.7 step files: fix the initial boot barriers http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5797903/thread Low hanging fruit 2) WinXP step files: add an optional barrier to deal with a closed start menu http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5797913/thread Low hanging fruit 3) RHEL-5.3 step files: fix initial boot barriers and an inconsistent dialog http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5798843/thread Low hanging fruit 4) stepeditor.py: get rid of some annoying keyboard shortcuts http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5797953/thread Low hanging fruit 5) kvm_vm.py: choose a monitor filename in the constructor instead of VM.create() http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5797943/thread Low hanging fruit 6) kvm_vm.py: add new function VM.clone() which returns a clone of the VM http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5798283/thread This patch is fine, even with the larger code proposed initialy by Michael. Low hanging fruit 7) kvm_vm.py: make sure the bulk of VM.create() is not executed in parallel http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5798713/thread Low hanging fruit 8) kvm_runtest_2.py: use pickle instead of shelve when loading/saving env http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5798483 Low hanging fruit 9) kvm_runtest_2.py: use environment filename specified by the 'env' parameter http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5798473/thread Low hanging fruit 10) kvm_vm.py: add new VM parameter 'x11_display' that controls $DISPLAY http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5798493 Low hanging fruit 11) VM.create(): always destroy() the VM before attempting to start it http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5797933 Low hanging fruit 12) kvm_utils.py: remote_login(): improve regular expression matching http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/24/5798273 Low hanging fruit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supriya Kannery (supriyak@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) Iterate over reboot http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/4/20/5529074/thread I revised the thread, saw that Uri made some modifications to the patch made by Supriya, but couldn't find a reference to this on the git log, so I am not sure if we already have this integrated. ? Needs rework ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yolkfull Chow (yzhou@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) fix a little problem for kvm_config.py Bugfix, easy to apply. Shouldn't require a lot of rework. Low hanging fruit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Burns (mburns@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) Make code to remove kvm modules more robust http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/20/5787593/thread I have re-worked this patch from Mike and proposed upstream http://patchwork.test.kernel.org/patch/650/ Since it's taking a bit longer than expected to review by upstream (will poke Martin), I have put it under kvm_utils, on my install refactor patch just for precaution. Once it gets into utils, I am going to drop the code on kvm_utils. Bottom line, I have assimilated this patch on other patches of mine (with Mike's permission of course). Assimilated into other patches -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexey Eromenko (aeromenk@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) New test module: iperf http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/5/31/5840973/thread Needs rework -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason Wang (jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx) 1) TAP network support in kvm-autotest I didn't find this one on the kernel trap archives Needs rework -- Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues Software Engineer (QE) Red Hat - Emerging Technologies -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
