[PATCH v2] kselftest: devices: Add test to detect missing devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Introduce a new test to identify regressions causing devices to go
missing on the system.

For each bus and class on the system the test checks the number of
devices present against a reference file, which needs to have been
generated by the program at a previous point on a known-good kernel, and
if there are missing devices they are reported.

Hi,

For details about the test, please see the README.rst included in the
patch.

This v2 contains changes addressing feedback received on the RFCv1
series, during the session at plumbers [1] and a few other things I
noticed along the way.

[1] https://www.youtube.com/live/kcr8NXEbzcg?si=QWBvJAOjj7tg264o&t=11283

For the open questions I posted in v1, the v2 changelog below should
make it clear what was decided. A few clarifications are needed though:
* I've decided to leave driver probe out of this test to keep it simple
  and avoid potential false-positives
* The reference file now includes the full kernel config as part of its
  metadata (Example at [2]). This is clunky but seems worth it for the
  purposes of reproducibility, and potentially (in the future) choosing
  the reference that best matches the running system

[2] https://github.com/kernelci/platform-test-parameters/pull/3/files

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Nícolas

Changes in v2:
- Switched reference format from YAML to JSON
- Introduced metadata to reference file, it includes: kernel version,
  kernel configuration and platform identifier
- Added -u flag to allow updating reference file in-place if it is a
  superset
- Added -f flag to allow specifying filename of the reference
- Added a few device properties (., device, firmware_node, driver)
- Un-ignored devlink device class
- Refactored code to improve legibility
- Added README.rst with documentation
- Renamed test from exist.py to test_dev_exist.py
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240724-kselftest-dev-exist-v1-1-9bc21aa761b5@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

+==========================
+Device existence kselftest
+==========================
+
+This test verifies whether all devices still exist on the system when compared
+to a reference run, allowing detection of regressions that cause devices to go
+missing.
+
+TL;DR
+=====
+
+Run ``./test_dev_exist.py -g``, then run ``./test_dev_exist.py``.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+The test program can be found as ``test_dev_exist.py`` in this directory. Run it
+with the ``--help`` argument to get information for all available arguments.
+Detailed usage follows below.
+
+Reference generation
+--------------------
+
+Before running the test, it is necessary to generate a reference. To do that,
+run it with the ``--generate-reference`` argument. This will generate a JSON
+file encoding all the devices available, per subsystem (class or bus), in the
+running system, as well as metadata about the system (kernel version,
+configuration and system identifiers).
+
+By default, the file will be saved in the current directory and named based on
+the system identifier, but that can be changed through the use of the
+``--reference-dir`` and ``--reference-file`` flags.
+
+Running the test
+----------------
+
+To run the test, simply execute it **without** the ``--generate-reference``
+argument. By default, once again, the test will look for the reference file in
+the current directory and named as the system identifier, but that can be
+changed through the ``--reference-dir`` and ``--reference-file`` flags.
+
+Reading the results
+-------------------
+
+The test outputs in the KTAP format, with one result per subsystem. For each
+failure the output shows the devices that were expected by the reference file,
+the devices that were found in the running system, and a best-effort guess for
+the devices that are missing in the system. For each device, its main properties
+are printed out to help in identifying it.
+
+As an example, below is the snippet printed when one of the three devices in the
+media bus went missing::
+
+  # Missing devices for subsystem 'media': 1 (Expected 3, found 2)
+  # =================
+  # Devices expected:
+  #
+  #   .:
+  #     /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-8/3-8.3/3-8.3.2/3-8.3.2:1.0/media2
+  #   uevent:
+  #     MAJOR=237
+  #     MINOR=2
+  #     DEVNAME=media2
+  #
+  #   .:
+  #     /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-9/3-9:1.0/media0
+  #   uevent:
+  #     MAJOR=237
+  #     MINOR=0
+  #     DEVNAME=media0
+  #
+  #   .:
+  #     /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-9/3-9:1.2/media1
+  #   uevent:
+  #     MAJOR=237
+  #     MINOR=1
+  #     DEVNAME=media1
+  #
+  # -----------------
+  # Devices found:
+  #
+  #   .:
+  #     /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-9/3-9:1.0/media0
+  #   uevent:
+  #     MAJOR=237
+  #     MINOR=0
+  #     DEVNAME=media0
+  #
+  #   .:
+  #     /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-9/3-9:1.2/media1
+  #   uevent:
+  #     MAJOR=237
+  #     MINOR=1
+  #     DEVNAME=media1
+  #
+  # -----------------
+  # Devices missing (best guess):
+  #
+  #   .:
+  #     /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-8/3-8.3/3-8.3.2/3-8.3.2:1.0/media2
+  #   uevent:
+  #     MAJOR=237
+  #     MINOR=2
+  #     DEVNAME=media2
+  #
+  # =================
+  not ok 67 bus.media
+
+Updating the reference
+----------------------
+
+As time goes on, new devices might be introduced in the system. To replace a
+reference file with a more up-to-date one containing more devices, pass both
+``--generate-reference`` and ``--update-reference`` arguments. The program will
+refuse to replace the reference if the new one doesn't contain all the devices
+in the old reference, as that is usually not desirable.
+
+Caveats
+=======
+
+The test relies solely on the count of devices per subsystem to detect missing
+devices. [#f1]_ That means that it is possible for the test to fail to detect a
+missing device.
+
+For example, if the running system contains one extra device and one missing
+device on the same subsystem compared to the reference, no test will fail since
+the count is the same. To minimize the risk of this happening, it is recommended
+to keep the reference file as up-to-date as possible.
+
+.. [#f1] The reason for this is that there aren't any device properties that are
+  used for every device and that are guaranteed to uniquely identify them and be
+  stable across kernel releases, so any attempt to match devices based on their
+  properties would lead to false-positives.
+
+Pre-existing reference files
+============================
+
+Due to the per-platform nature of the reference files, it is not viable to keep
+them in-tree.
+
+To facilitate running the test, especially by CI systems, a collection of
+pre-existing reference files is kept at
+https://github.com/kernelci/platform-test-parameters.
