that looks like it's not crashing the worker instance even if maybe it should, right?

wait_serial() clearly does not time out when it's supposed to.

Or more precisely, the wait_serial() does not return when it should. The last wait_serial() that gets executed is waiting for # prompt and I can see the prompt in serial_terminal.txt. Yet the wait_serial() call ignores it and stays stuck indefinitely.

Here's a new example on SLE-12SP4 so it's not just 15SP1 anymore:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10189630#step/cgroup_fj_stress_blkio_4_4_each/8

Once again, the job times out in wait_serial() waiting for shell prompt after the main test process finished. And the shell prompt is right there at the very end of serial_terminal.txt:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10189630/logfile?filename=serial_terminal.txt

And another case on SLE-15SP3:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10192511#step/cgroup_fj_stress_blkio_4_4_each/7
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10192511/logfile?filename=serial_terminal.txt

looking at a successful run of vmstat

read_until announces its entry. Now on an unsuccessful run:

[2022-12-16T14:39:11.582074+01:00] [debug] <<< testapi::script_run(cmd="vmstat -w", die_on_timeout=1, quiet=undef, timeout=30, output="")

here we just enter wait_serial on the front-end. It's not clear if the backend ever receives the command.

Created a PR for printing the PID: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2237
myjsonrpc has a debug option which is set with an env variable: PERL_MYJSONRPC_DEBUG

It is extremely odd that it always happens on the same test, but the test is just moving some processes between CGroups. This is totally internal to the SUT except for the log output it generates, which is quite noisy.

Here is new output now that we have PID in log

[2023-02-02T02:53:41.010973+01:00] [debug] [pid:5845] <<< testapi::script_run(cmd="vmstat -w", quiet=undef, timeout=30, die_on_timeout=1, output="")

Timeout happens here. Testapi sends wait_serial, but we never see read_until being entered.

Below QEMU says it is killed by PID 1047 which is the worker process. This is confirmed by the worker log.

There is no timeout set on the do_capture loop and the stall detection is not active with the serial console. So there is nothing to rule out that it is spinning in that loop.

Something else which could cause this, is if the testapi front end sends two messages without waiting for a response. Then the backend could read both draining the socket buffer. However the second one will not be read because it will be sitting in the JSON parser's buffer. This is only checked when the fd has data. It's hard to rule this out.

The os-autoinst PR has been merged. So setting DEBUG_JSON_RPC on the job will log all of the RPCs. It's probably best to do it on a cloned job first.

After enabling DEBUG_JSON_RPC on all ltp_controllers jobs, we got some slightly interesting output. Alas, it the true cause still remains a mystery.
