treewide: By default, don't quit source after migration, keep sockets open

2025-07-29T15:57:01+00:00

We are hitting an issue in the KubeVirt integration where some data is
still sent to the source instance even after migration is complete. As
we exit, the kernel closes our sockets and resets connections. The
resulting RST segments are sent to peers, effectively terminating
connections that were meanwhile migrated.

At the moment, this is not done intentionally, but in the future
KubeVirt might enable OVN-Kubernetes features where source and
destination nodes are explicitly getting mirrored traffic for a while,
in order to decrease migration downtime.

By default, don't quit after migration is completed on the source: the
previous behaviour can be enabled with the new, but deprecated,
--migrate-exit option. After migration (as source), the -1 / --one-off
option has no effect.

Also, by default, keep migrated TCP sockets open (in repair mode) as
long as we're running, and ignore events on any epoll descriptor
representing data channels. The previous behaviour can be enabled with
the new, equally deprecated, --migrate-no-linger option.

By keeping sockets open, and not exiting, we prevent the kernel
running on the source node to send out RST segments if further data
reaches us.

test: Display count of skipped tests in status and summary

2025-05-15T16:06:19+00:00

This commit enhances test reporting by tracking and displaying the
number of skipped tests.

The skipped test count is now visible in the tmux status bar during
execution and included in the final test summary log. This provides
a more complete overview of test suite results.

test/perf: Simplify iperf3 server lifetime management

2025-03-12T22:08:33+00:00

After we start the iperf3 server in the background, we have a sleep to
make sure it's ready to receive connections.  We can simplify this slightly
by using the -D option to have iperf3 background itself rather than
backgrounding it manually.  That won't return until the server is ready to
use.

test: Add migration tests

2025-02-17T07:29:36+00:00

PCAP=1 ./run migrate/bidirectional gives an overview of how the
whole thing is working.

Add 12 tests in total, checking basic functionality with and without
flows in both directions, with and without sockets in half-closed
states (both inbound and outbound), migration behaviour under traffic
flood, under traffic flood with > 253 flows, and strict checking of
sequences under flood with ramp patterns in both directions.

These tests need preparation and teardown for each case, as we need
to restore the source guest in its own context and pane before we can
test again. Eventually, we could consider alternating source and
target so that we don't need to restart from scratch every time, but
that's beyond the scope of this initial test implementation.

Trick: './run migrate/*' runs all the tests with preparation and
teardown steps.

dhcp, dhcpv6: Add hostname and client fqdn ops

2025-02-10T17:30:24+00:00

Both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 has the capability to pass the hostname to
clients, the DHCPv4 uses option 12 (hostname) while the DHCPv6 uses option 39
(client fqdn), for some virt deployments like kubevirt is expected to
have the VirtualMachine name as the guest hostname.

This change add the following arguments:
 - -H --hostname NAME to configure the hostname DHCPv4 option(12)
 - --fqdn NAME to configure client fqdn option for both DHCPv4(81) and
   DHCPv6(39)

test: Add tests for passt in vhost-user mode

2024-11-27T15:49:21+00:00

Run functional and performance tests for vhost-user mode as well. For
functional tests, we add passt_vu and passt_vu_in_ns as symbolic links
to their non-vhost-user counterparts, as no differences are intended
but we want to distinguish them in test logs.

For performance tests, instead, we add separate perf/passt_vu_tcp and
perf/passt_vu_udp files, as we need longer test duration, as well as
higher UDP sending bandwidths and larger TCP windows, to actually get
the highest throughput vhost-user mode offers.

For valgrind tests, vhost-user mode needs two extra system calls:
statx and readlink. Add them as EXTRA_SYSCALLS for the valgrind
target.

test: Pass TRACE from run_term() into ./run from_term

2024-10-10T03:25:19+00:00

Just like we do for PCAP, DEBUG and KERNEL. Otherwise, running tests
with TRACE=1 will not actually enable tracing output.

test/lib/term: Always use printf for messages with escape sequences

...instead of echo: otherwise, bash won't handle escape sequences we

test: Kernel binary can now be passed via the KERNEL environmental variable

2024-10-02T12:50:34+00:00

This is quite useful at least for myself as I'm usually running tests
using a guest kernel that's not the same as the one on the host.
