Since we've started work on upstream merge, there's a wealth of patches

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.

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

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.

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
Michael Goldish is implementing it. He's been on vacation, but I expect
it to be ready pretty soon.

Already re-worked against upstream. Needs to be reviewed.

6) kvm_vm.py: add new function VM.clone() which returns a clone of the

This patch is fine, even with the larger code proposed initialy by
Michael.

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 ?

1) fix a little problem for kvm_config.py
Bugfix, easy to apply. Shouldn't require a lot of rework.

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

I didn't find this one on the kernel trap archives
