* test: Make handling of shell prompts with escapes a little more reliableDavid Gibson2023-12-071-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using the old-style "pane" methods of executing commands during the tests, we need to scan the shell output for prompts in order to tell when commands have finished. This is inherently unreliable because commands could output things that look like prompts, and prompts might not look like we expect them to. The only way to really fix this is to use a better way of dispatching commands, like the newer "context" system. However, it's awkward to convert everything to "context" right at the moment, so we're still relying on some tests that do work most of the time. It is, however, particularly sensitive to fancy coloured prompts using escape sequences. Currently we try to handle this by stripping actual ESC characters with tr, then looking for some common variants. We can do a bit better: instead strip all escape sequences using sed before looking for our prompt. Or, at least, any one using [a-zA-Z] as the terminating character. Strictly speaking ANSI escapes can be terminated by any character in 0x40..0x7e, which isn't easily expressed in a regexp. This should capture all common ones, though. With this transformation we can simplify the list of patterns we then look for as a prompt, removing some redundant variants.

* test/perf: Start iperf3 server less oftenDavid Gibson2023-11-071-19/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we start both the iperf3 server(s) and client(s) afresh each time we want to make a bandwidth measurement. That's not really necessary as usually a whole batch of bandwidth measurements can use the same server. Split up the iperf3 directive into 3 directives: iperf3s to start the server, iperf3 to make a measurement and iperf3k to kill the server, so that we can start the server less often. This - and more importantly, the reduced number of waits for the server to be ready - reduces runtime of the performance tests on my laptop by about 4m (out of ~28minutes). For now we still restart the server between IPv4 and IPv6 tests. That's because in some cases the latency measurements we make in between use the same ports.

* test/perf: Get iperf3 stats from client sideDavid Gibson2023-11-071-18/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | iperf3 generates statistics about its run on both the client and server sides. They don't have exactly the same information, but both have the pieces we need (AFAICT the server communicates some nformation to the client over the control socket, so the most important information is in the client side output, even if measured by the server). Currently we use the server side information for our measurements. Using the client side information has several advantages though: * We can directly wait for the client to complete and we know we'll have the output we want. We don't need to sleep to give the server time to write out the results. * That in turn means we can wrap up as soon as the client is done, we don't need to wait overlong to make sure everything is finished. * The slightly different organisation of the data in the client output means that we always want the same json value, rather than requiring slightly different onces for UDP and TCP. The fact that we avoid some extra delays speeds up the overal run of the perf tests by around 7 minutes (out of around 35 minutes) on my laptop. The fact that we no longer unconditionally kill client and server after a certain time means that the client could run indefinitely if the server doesn't respond. We mitigate that by setting 1s connect timeout on the client. This isn't foolproof - if we get an initial response, but then lose connectivity this could still run indefinitely, however it does cover by far the most likely failure cases. --snd-timeout would provide more robustness, but I've hit odd failures when trying to use it.

* test: Remove race between commands run in the same contextDavid Gibson2023-04-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | context_run() has a race condition if two commands are run in close proximity (generally involving at least one in the background). Because we always use the same name for the temporary fifo files, if another command is issued while the fifos for the first still exist, mkfifo will fail, typically causing the entire test script to jam. Create unique names for the temporary fifos to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

* test: Wait for network before starting passt in two_guests setupStefano Brivio2022-11-041-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As pasta now configures that target network namespace with --config-net, we need to wait for addresses and routes to be actually present. Just sending netlink messages doesn't mean this is done synchronously.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These show a summary of memory usage in kernel and userspace with different port forwarding configurations, details of userspace usage using 'nm' (passt only uses statically allocated memory), and details of kernel memory from slab reporting facilities. This adds a new test image, mbuto.mem.img, with harcoded IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and routes, and just the tools we need to start and stop passt, to report from /proc/slabinfo, /proc/meminfo, and to print and parse symbol sizes using nm(1). passt can't pivot_root() for sandboxing purposes on ramfs, so we need to create another filesystem and chroot into it, first. We don't want to use pane context functions, as we're checking memory usage for sockets: resort to screen-scraping.

* test: Add log file tests for pasta plus corresponding layout and setupStefano Brivio2022-10-263-1/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To test log files on a tmpfs mount, we need to unshare the mount namespace, which means using a context for the passt pane is not really practical at the moment, as we can't open a shell there, so we would have to encapsulate all the commands under 'unshare -rUm', plus the "inner" pasta command, running in turn a tcp_rr server. It might be worth fixing this by e.g. detecting we are trying to spawn an interactive shell and adding a special path in the context setup with some form of stdin redirection -- I'm not sure it's doable though. For this reason, add a new layout, using a context only for the host pane, while keeping the old command dispatch mechanism for the passt pane. We also need a new setup function that doesn't start pasta: we want to start and restart it with different options. Further, we need a 'pint' directive, to send an interrupt to the passt pane: add that in lib/test. All the tests before the one involving tmpfs and a detached mount namespace were also tested with the context mechanism. To make an eventual conversion easier, pass tcp_crr directly as a command on pasta's command line where feasible. While at it, fix the comment to the teardown_pasta() function. The new test set can be semi-conveniently run as: ./run pasta_options/log_to_file and it checks basic log creation, size of the log file after flooding it with debug entries, rotations, and basic consistency after rotations, on both an existing filesystem and a tmpfs, chosen as it doesn't support collapsing data ranges via fallocate(), hence triggering the fall-back mechanism for logging rotation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The setup functions for passt_in_ns and two_guests perform some fairly slow dhclient calls to configure the network in the namespace before starting the guest. This isn't really part of the tests, just necessary for the operations later. We can simplify and speed this up a bit by using pasta's '--config-net' option to configure the networking for us.

We have a number of semi-arbitrary fixed sleeps to account for this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that if we run throughput tests with one-second periodic reports, the sending side of the vhost channel used for SSH-based command dispatch occasionally stops working altogether. I haven't investigated this further, all I see is that output is truncated at some point, and doesn't resume. If we use gzip compression (ssh -C) this happens less frequently, but it still happens, seemingly indicating the issue is probably related to vhost itself. Disable periodic reports in iperf3 clients. The -i options were actually redundant, so remove them from both test files as well as from test_iperf3(). Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>

Restore some of the behaviour that went away with the "test: Rewrite test_iperf3" patch: instead of waiting on servers to terminate, wait on the clients. When they are done, wait 2 seconds, and then send SIGINT to the servers, which make them still write out the JSON report before terminating. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
