<p>SLE-15SP4 livepatching channel will include packages for userspace livepatching which need standard single incident and aggregate tests. Incident scheduling logic in bot config therefore needs support for package exclusion so that the livepatching channel can be enabled for single incidents without flooding the job groups with kernel livepatch tests. Example:</p>
<pre><code>Server-DVD-Incidents:
archs:
- x86_64
issues:
...
exclude_packages:
- kernel-livepatch
</code></pre>
<p>Any incident that contains package with the given name (or name prefix) will be skipped for the parent flavor regardless of what else it contains.</p>

<p>LTP test cgroup_fj_stress_blkio_4_4_each on latest SLE-15SP1 KOTD kernel appears to crash the OpenQA worker instance it's running on. The test itself will succeed but the OpenQA job will stay stuck in <code>wait_serial()</code> for several hours (despite 90 second timeout) until the whole job fails on MAX_JOB_TIME. There are 3 examples so far:<br>
<a href="https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10089424#step/cgroup_fj_stress_blkio_4_4_each/7" class="external">https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10089424#step/cgroup_fj_stress_blkio_4_4_each/7</a><br>

<p>I've seen this issue only on SLE-15SP1 KOTD builds 156 and 157. I have not seen any cases on other SLE versions.</p>
<p>Typical autoinst-log.txt entries related to the timeout:</p>

<p>s390x livepatch tests had a lot of installation failures this month due to SSH serial terminal connection failures. Interestingly enough, the connection failures seem to happen around the same module step. serial_terminal.txt output appears to be out of sync with the terminal because part of the commands and output is missing even though it's listed in the update_kernel module details. The dmesg output in serial0.txt often (but not always) shows some key exchange SSH error followed by output from a completely different job:</p>

<p>I could not find any such connection failure on SLE-12SP5. Other SLE releases don't support s390x livepatches and KOTD tests don't show this kind of issue. This looks like a kernel bug but I'd like an s390x expert to look at this before I create a Bugzilla ticket. And of course this has exposed logging issues in OpenQA.</p>
openQA Infrastructure - action #107989 (Resolved): CPU-specific worker classeshttps://progress.opensuse.org/issues/1079892022-03-08T11:28:38ZMDouchamartin.doucha@suse.com
<p>We have a few tests which require specific CPU types, for example the CPU vulnerability mitigation tests. It'd be useful to have worker classes like <code>x86_64_amd</code> and <code>x86_64_intel</code> so that we can schedule tests on workers which have the required features or vulnerabilities.</p>

<p>QCOW images in OpenQA occasionally get corrupted because multiple jobs try to publish the same file at the same time, either due to <code>PUBLISH_*</code> setting misconfiguration or duplicate install jobs scheduled in parallel. For example, this job failed to start:<br>
<a href="https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8162749" class="external">https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8162749</a></p>
<p>because these three install jobs finished 20 minutes apart and tried to upload the same QCOW image:<br>

<p>Please add some sort of protection against asset clobbering via <code>PUBLISH_*</code> variables:</p>
<ul>
<li>two jobs must not publish the same file in parallel</li>
<li>jobs must not publish a file while another job may be downloading the previous version</li>
<li><code>PUBLISH_*</code> misconfiguration (e.g. copy-paste mistakes among multiple testsuites) should be detected and reported in the WebUI, for example as the reason why install job was terminated</li>

</code></pre>
<p>The error may seem rare at first glance but that's most likely because of asset caching on workers. For example, of the last 10 jobs on openqaworker-arm-3:19 (at the time of writing), 2 jobs failed with connect timeout, 2 jobs downloaded at least one asset successfully and 6 jobs ran entirely from cache. It's not clear from logs whether the timeout happens during the initial connection or halfway through downloading a 2GB file.<br>

<p>The oldest case confirmed by os-autoinst log is from 2019-12-15: <a href="https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3708066" class="external">https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3708066</a><br>
There may have been older cases but their logs have most likely been deleted by now.</p>
<p>I've also looked at 5 instances of openqaworker-arm-1 and found only 3 confirmed cases of the same error. That's low enough to be caused by chance.</p>

<p>The openqa-worker service on some openqa.suse.de workers doesn't get restarted after update. This may cause version mismatch between os-autoinst and openQA-common packages.</p>
<p>One example of this mismatch are these three verification runs for <a href="https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/8329" class="external">https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/8329</a> below:<br>

openqaworker6: <a href="https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3541697" class="external">https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3541697</a> (openqa-worker service last restarted on 2019-09-18)<br>

<p>All three jobs ran the same test modules (see autoinst log) but all tests after intall_ltp were scheduled at runtime. Updating test schedule at runtime requires patches merged into OpenQA on 2019-09-27 so openqaworker6 and openqaworker9 didn't update test schedule due to still running openQA-common from mid-September, before the patches were merged.</p>
openQA Infrastructure - action #58805 (Resolved): [infra]Severe storage performance issue on open...https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/588052019-10-29T11:34:09ZMDouchamartin.doucha@suse.com
<p>Last week on Thursday, a handful of tests in two LTP testsuites started timing out. I've initially reported it as a kernel performance regression: <a href="https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1155018" class="external">https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1155018</a></p>
<p>However, I've tried to reproduce the problem on a released kernel version which didn't have the issue 3 weeks ago and succeeded: <a href="https://openqa.suse.de/tests/overview?build=15ga_mdoucha_bsc_1155018&version=15&distri=sle" class="external">https://openqa.suse.de/tests/overview?build=15ga_mdoucha_bsc_1155018&version=15&distri=sle</a></p>
<p>This successful reproduction on a known good kernel indicates that the problem is somewhere in OpenQA infrastructure, possibly a bug introduced during the weekly deployment on Wednesday, October 23rd. The timeout continues to appear in kernel-of-the-day LTP tests: <a href="https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3533819#step/DOR000/7" class="external">https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3533819#step/DOR000/7</a></p>
<p>Both PPC64LE and x86_64 are affected. Reproducibility on aarch64 and s390 is currently unknown because we don't run the affected testsuites on those two platforms. The failing tests mostly belong to the async & direct I/O stress testsuite.</p>
