[sle][functional][u][hard][investigation] Snapper tests run too long

Description

Snapper cleanup runs for 54 minutes.
Snapper create runs for 18 minutes.

Combined they take too long time and cause job timeouts after 2 hours.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: snapper cleanup + create runs together on ppc64le take less time than ~50m

Reproducible

openQA test in scenario:

It failed for SP3 on Build 0304

But now the test module is only scheduled for test suite: osd#extra_tests_filesystem#latest

I do consider to increase MAX_JOB_TIME. Right now I don't see any possible way to changes the test logic.
If this fails on the ppc64le and not on other platform than maybe its not the test case a problem.

Opinions are welcome :)

Snapper cleanup runs about 40 minutes on x86_64 - maybe using virtio_terminal it could be finished much faster.

Sorry, no idea what is virtio_terminal. Paste some more info please, thx.

short-term: make tests work again -> increase timeout
mid-term: simplify tests as one module for such a long time is certainly not a
good idea

Applied short-term solution.

Updated by okurz over 7 years ago

In the the meantime we split extra tests into "extra_tests_filesystem" and "extra_tests_in_textmode"

Two months ago the module snapper_cleanup was not included anymore on this test:

The test module is only scheduled for test suites

The issue didn't happen since at least 7 months:

We have also improvements in the old "force_cron_run" (see poo#31351)
which is going to be renamed (see poo#38093)
And this kind of performance issues will be handle on system performance scenarios (see poo#38090)

So how long do the test modules take? What performance issue do you mean?

Actions #23

Updated by SLindoMansilla over 6 years ago

With performance issue I refer each time some background tasks affect the current test.

Wait, I realized I am checking for x86_64, but AC mentions ppc64le and that scenario is not active. Activated scenario on Test Development: SLE_12_SP4 and tracking.

good. With https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/5222 snapper_cleanup might have changed its behaviour a lot so it might be that actually the goal is fulfilled already without further code changes but you are right to crosscheck this. Before closing this ticket please make sure we do not have "lost" snapper_cleanup on our relevant products. Could be that we have other tickets for that. I just want to make sure we don't forget something :)

I crosschecked that we have the test module "snapper_cleanup" executed on all current relevant products, e.g.:
