* tests: Explicitly list test files in test/run, remove "onlyfor" supportDavid Gibson2022-07-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently test/run uses wildcards to run all of the tests in a directory. However, that wildcard list is filtered down by the "onlyfor" directives in the test files... usually to a single file. Therefore, just explicitly list the files we *really* want to run for this test mode. This makes it easier to see at the top level what tests will be executed, and to change that list temporarily while debugging specific failures. This means the "onlyfor" directive no longer has any purpose, and we can remove it. "onlyfor" was also the only used of the $MODE variable, so we can remove that too.

* test: Embed script for dhclient(8) in mbuto(1) profileStefano Brivio2022-07-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | David reports that dhclient-script(8) on Fedora needs a number of binaries that are not included in PROGS of the current mbuto profile, and we would also need to include hostnamectl(1) there, which will fail without a systemd init. Embed a minimal script for dhclient(8) in the profile itself, written to /sbin/dhclient-script at boot, to just check what we need to check out of DHCP and DHCPv6 functionality. While at it, drop busybox and logger from PROGS, as we don't need them, and add hostname(1). While DHCP option 12 isn't supported yet by the DHCP implementation in passt, we should probably add it soon. Note: owing to the simplicity of this script, we now need to bring up the interface before starting dhclient: add this in test scripts where it's not the case yet.

* Tweak dhclient arguments for readabilityDavid Gibson2022-06-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of tests and examples use dhclient in both IPv4 and IPv6 modes. We use "dhclient -6" for IPv6, but usually just "dhclient" for IPv4. Add an explicit "-4" argument to make it more clear and explicit. In addition, when dhclient is run from within pasta it usually won't be "real" root, and so will not have access to write the default global pid file. This results in a mostly harmless but irritating error: Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied We can avoid that by using the --no-pid flag to dhclient.

* Don't abbreviate ip(8) arguments in examples and testsDavid Gibson2022-06-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | ip(8)'s ability to take abbreviated arguments (e.g. "li sh" instead of "link show") is very handy when using it interactively, but it doesn't make for very readable scripts and examples when shown that way. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
* test/perf: Work-around for virtio_net hang before long streams from guestStefano Brivio2022-03-291-0/+15
| | | | | | | I didn't have time to investigate the root cause for the virtio_net TX hang yet. Add a quick work-around for the moment being. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* test/perf/passt_tcp: Drop iperf3 window size for host-to-guest testsStefano Brivio2022-02-011-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | With a recent 5.15 kernel, passing a huge window size to iperf3 with lower MTUs makes iperf3 stop sending packets after a few seconds -- I haven't investigated this in detail, but the window size will be adjusted dynamically anyway and not passing it doesn't actually affect throughput, so simply drop the option.

* test/perf: Try sourcing maximum scaling frequency from cpufreqStefano Brivio2021-10-211-1/+3
| | | | | | | On most recent CPUs, that's a better indication of all-core turbo frequency, or non-turbo frequency, than /proc/cpuinfo. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
