Description

Motivation

  • In test suites there is a Soft Failure due the error install kernel: ITS@0x8080000: Unable to locate ITS domain handle
  • According with this comment, QEMU have to start with -machine virt,usb=off,gic-version=3,its=on
  • Trying to override this value in QEMUMACHINE either in cloned job or isos post, it does not work: the value is still override by workerconf.sls

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: remove its=off inside workerconf.sls for worker-arm1 and worker-arm2 in global QEMUMACHINE:
  worker-arm1:
    ## FQDN: worker-arm1.oqa.prg2.suse.org
    ##  serial: `ssh -t jumpy@qe-jumpy.prg2.suse.org "ipmitool -I lanplus -H openqaworker-arm1.qe-ipmi-ur -U … -P '…' sol activate"`
    numofworkers: 40
    bridge_iface: eth0
    webuis:
      openqa.suse.de:
        key: 
        secret: 
    global:
      WORKER_CLASS: qemu_aarch64,tap,region-prg,location-prg2
      QEMUMACHINE: virt,usb=off,gic-version=3,its=off  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

  worker-arm2:
    ## FQDN: worker-arm2.oqa.prg2.suse.org
    ##  serial: `ssh -t jumpy@qe-jumpy.prg2.suse.org "ipmitool -I lanplus -H openqaworker-arm2.qe-ipmi-ur -U … -P '…' sol activate"`
    numofworkers: 40
    bridge_iface: eth0
    webuis:
      openqa.suse.de:
        key: 
        secret: 
    global:
      WORKER_CLASS: qemu_aarch64,tap,region-prg,location-prg2
      QEMUMACHINE: virt,usb=off,gic-version=3,its=off  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

How to verify

  • Restarting the jobs, we aspect to see inside file/vars.json the value its=on for "QEMUMACHINE"

Suggestions

  • Let's make it easy and assume we don't need the QEMUMACHINE settings anymore at all so let's just remove them and verify with openQA jobs that jobs are still fine without
  • Trigger another specific verification with QEMUMACHINE='its=on'

Can you please clarify that the AC is fulfilled? My understanding is that the setting should be freely overridable.

On o3 this is not set on the worker level but on the machine level for the aarch64 machine:

QEMUMACHINE=virt,gic-version=host
