this seems to be a significant performance regression on openqa-aarch64 since #72079

@ggardet_arm I assume this issue is resolved with work you have done but to learn for the future I would appreciate if you can describe what exactly was the solution. Can you update here?

This is not fixed, just happens with a lower rate. It looks like it is related to performances.

ok, anything we could do? Or what do you plan as next step? As long as you are assigned I will keep the target version "future" to communicate that the SUSE QA Tools team is not actively working on this ticket.

tbh, I do not know what would be the next step here.

ok, let's see: So do you agree that this is likely a performance regression since we upgraded to openSUSE Leap 15.2? Do we need another bugreport for qemu or any generic bug report? Should we rollback any changes? If there is nothing else then at least I will monitor the situation how often and when these issues happen and have an automatic retrigger of these cases. Maybe when it happens not that often and we retrigger automatically there is nothing else to be done.

Using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/os-autoinst/scripts/master/openqa-query-for-job-label and calling
openqa-query-for-job-label 73297
I get:

so this is very much a recurring issue.

@ggardet_arm I think a "rollback" of the migration comes a bit late by now. This seems to be a clear performance regression for me but I would not now what is wrong with the code that we maintain. Unless you already have according bug reports for that please make sure to report them for whatever you consider the relevant component. I trust that you are much more of an expert regarding the aarch64 specifics here.

All the backend died: Virtio terminal and svirt serial terminal do not support send_key. are due to missing select_console at the beginning of the journal_check test. Should be fixed by: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/11439
The Backend died: Migrate to file failed, it has been running for more than 240 seconds appears from time to time and are clearly related to performance. (Likely occurs when multiple VM try to migrate to file at the same time).

This is an autogenerated message for openQA integration by the openqa_review script:

This bug is still referenced in a failing openQA test: wicked_basic_sut
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2303637

To prevent further reminder comments one of the following options should be followed:

  1. The test scenario is fixed by applying the bug fix to the tested product or the test is adjusted
  2. The openQA job group is moved to "Released" or "EOL" (End-of-Life)
  3. The bugref in the openQA scenario is removed or replaced, e.g. label:wontfix:boo1234

Expect the next reminder at the earliest in 28 days if nothing changes in this ticket.
