Hi Adam,

This seems like a trivial configuration error, perhaps this is something I need to set up in ts-rigs. I briefly searched through the examples there and didn't see any mention of how to set up a network.When running testing on the Intel XL710s, I see this error appear in the log:Hi Andrew,The compilation warning issue is now resolved. Again, thank you guys for fixing this for us. I can run the tests on the Mellanox CX5s again, however I'm running into a couple new issues with running the prologues on the Intel cards.
ERROR prologue Environment LIB 14:16:13.650

I will attach this log just in case you need more information.
Unfortunately logs are insufficient to understand it. I've pushed new tag to TE v1.19.0 which add log message with TE_* environment variables.
Most likely something is wrong with variables which are used as conditions when available networks are defined in ts-conf/cs/inc.net_cfg_pci_fns.yml:
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_IUT_TST1
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_IUT_TST1a
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_TST1a_IUT
TE_PCI_INSTANCE_TST1_IUT
My guess it that you change naming a bit, but script like ts-rigs-sample/scripts/iut.h1-x710 is not included or not updated.
There is a different error when running on the Intel E810s. It appears to me like it starts DPDK, does some configuration inside DPDK and on the device, and then fails to bring the device back up. Since this error seems very non-trivial, I will also attach this log.
This one is a bit simpler. Few lines after the first ERROR in log I see the following:
WARN RCF DPDK 13:06:00.144
ice_program_hw_rx_queue(): currently package doesn't support RXDID (22)
ice_rx_queue_start(): fail to program RX queue 0
ice_dev_start(): fail to start Rx queue 0
Device with port_id=0 already stopped
It is stdout/stderr from test agent which runs DPDK. Same logs in plain format are available in ta.DPDK file.
I'm not an expert here, but I vaguely remember that E810 requires correct firmware and DDP to be loaded.
There is some information in dpdk/doc/guides/nics/ice.rst.
You can try to add --dev-args=safe-mode-support=1 command-line option described there.
Hope it helps,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
I have one additional question as well: Does the test engine support running tests on two ARMv8 test agents?
1. We'll sort out warnings this week. Thanks for heads up.
Great. Let me know when that's fixed.
Done. We also fixed a number of warnings in TE.
Also we fixed root test package name to be consistent with the repository name.
Support for old LTS branches was dropped some time ago, but in the future it is definitely possible to keep it for new LTS branches. I think 22.11 is supported, but I'm not sure about older LTS releases.
Good to know.
2. You can add command-line option --sanity to run tests marked with TEST_HARNESS_SANITY requirement (see dpdk-ethdev-ts/scripts/run.sh and grep TEST_HARNESS_SANITY dpdk-ethdev-ts to see which tests are marked). Yes, there is a space for terminology improvement here. We'll do it.
Done. Now it is called --checkup.
Also it takes a lot of time because of failures and tests which wait for some timeout.
That makes sense to me. We'll use the time to complete tests on virtio or the Intel devices as a reference for how long the tests really take to complete.
We will explore the possibility of periodically running the sanity tests for patches.
I'll double-check and let you know how long entire TS runs on Intel X710, E810, Mellanox CX5 and virtio net. Just to ensure that time observed in your case looks the same.
The test harness can provide coverage reports based on gcov, but I'm not sure what you mean by a "dial" to control test coverage. Provided reports are rather for human to analyze.
The general idea is to have some kind of parameter on the test suite, which could be an integer ranging from zero to ten, that controls how many tests are run based on how important the test is.
Similar to how some command line interfaces provide a verbosity level parameter (some number of "-v" arguments) to control the importance of the information in the log.The verbosity level zero only prints very important log messages, while ten prints everything.
Then we could, for example, run the "run.sh" with a level of 2 or 3 for incoming patches that need quick results, and with a level of 10 for the less often run periodic tests performed on main or LTS branches.
In much the same manner as above, this "dial" parameter controls what tests are run and with what parameters based on how important those tests and test parameter combinations are.
Coverage Level zero tells the suite to run a very basic set of important tests, with minimal parameterization. This mode would take only ~5-10 minutes to run.
In contrast, Coverage Level ten includes all the edge cases, every combination of test parameters, everything the test suite can do, which takes the normal several hours to run.
The values 1 - 9 are between those two extremes, allowing the user to get a gradient of test coverage in the results and to limit the running time.
Understood now. Thanks a lot for the idea. We'll discuss it and come back.
3. Yes, really many tests on Mellanox CX5 NICs report unexpected testing results. Unfortunately it is time consuming to fill in expectations database since it is necessary to analyze testing results and classify if it is a bug or just acceptable behaviour aspect.
Bublik allows to compare results of two runs. It is useful for human, but still not good for automation.
I have local patch for mlx5 driver which reports Tx ring size maximum. It makes pass rate higher. It is a problem for test harness that mlx5 does not report limits right now.
Pass rate on Intel X710 is about 92% on my test rig. Pass rate on virtio net is 99% right now and could be done 100% easily (just one thing to fix in expectations).
I think logs storage setup is essential for logs analysis. Of course, you can request HTML logs when you run tests (--log-html=html) or generate after run using dpdk-ethdev-ts/scripts/html-log.sh and open index.html in a browser, but logs storage makes it more convenient.
We are interested in setting up Bublik, potentially as an externally-facing component, once we have our process of running the test suite stabilized.Once we are able to run the test suite again, I'll see what the pass rate is on our other hardware.
Good to know that it isn't an issue with our dev testbed causing the high fail rate.
For Intel hardware, we have an XL710 and an Intel E810-C in our development testbed. Although they are slightly different devices, ideally the pass rate will be identical or similar. I have yet to set up a VM pair for virtio, but we will soon.
Latest version of test-environment has examples of our CGI scripts which we use for log storage (see tools/log_server/README.md).
Also all bits for Jenkins setup are available. See dpdk-ethdev-ts/jenkins/README.md and examples of jenkins files in ts-rigs-sample.
Jenkins integration, setting up production rig configurations, and permanent log storage will be our next steps once I am able to run the tests again.
Unless there is an easy way to have meson not pass "-Werror" into GCC. Then I would be able to run the test suite.
Hopefully it is resolved now.
I thought a bit more about your usecase for Jenkins. I'm not 100% sure that existing pipelines are convenient for your usecase.
Fill free to ask questions when you are on it.
Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,That fix seems to have resolved the issue, thanks for the quick turnaround time on that patch.
Now that we have the RCF timeout issue resolved, there are a few other questions and issues that we have about the tests themselves.
1. The test suite fails to build with a couple warnings.

This error wasn't occurring last week, which was the last time I ran the tests.
The TE host and the DUT have GCC v9.4.0 installed, and the tester has GCC v11.4.0 installed, if this information is helpful.
2. On the Mellanox CX5s, there are over 6,000 tests run, which collectively take around 9 hours. Is it possible, and would it make sense, to lower the test coverage and have the test suite run faster?
For some context, we run immediate testing on incoming patches for DPDK main and development branches, as well as periodic test runs on the main, stable, and LTS branches.
For us to consider including this test suite as part of our immediate testing on patches, we would have to reduce the test coverage to the most important tests.
This is primarily to reduce the testing time to, for example, less than 30 minutes. Testing on patches can't take too long because the lab can receive numerous patches each day, which each require individual testing runs.
At what frequency we run these tests, and on what, still needs to be discussed with the DPDK community, but it would be nice to know if the test suite had a "dial" to control the testing coverage.
3. We see a lot of test failures on our Mellanox CX5 NICs. Around 2,300 of ~6,600 tests passed. Is there anything we can do to diagnose these test failures?
Thanks,
Adam

Brilliant idea. If DNS returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in your case, I guess it is the root cause of the problem.
Of course, it is TE problem since I see really weird code in lib/comm_net_engine/comm_net_engine.c line 135.
I've pushed fix to the branch user/arybchik/fix_ipv4_only in ts-factory/test-environment repository. Please, try.

hopefully it will be released in one-two days.

Hi Andrew,We have yet to notice a distinct pattern with the failures. Sometimes, the RCF will start and connect without issue a few times in a row before failing to connect again. Once the issue begins to occur, neither rebooting all of the hosts (test engine VM, tester, IUT) or deleting all of the build directories (suites, agents, inst) and rebooting the hosts afterward resolves the issue. When it begins working again seems very arbitrary to us.
I do usually try to terminate the test engine with Ctrl+C, but when it hangs while trying to start RCF, that does not work.
Does the test engine prefer to use IPv6 over IPv4 for initiating the RCF connection to the test bed hosts? And if so, is there a way to force it to use IPv4?

Done. It works fine for me without any issues.
Have you noticed any pattern when it works or does not work?
May be it is a problem of not clean state after termination?
Does it work fine the first time after DUTs reboot?
How do you terminate testing? It should be done using Ctrl+C in terminal where you execute run.sh command.
In this case it should shutdown gracefully and close all test agents and engine applications.
(I'm trying to understand why you've seen many test agent processes. It should not happen.)

Hi Andrew,Two of our systems (the Test Engine runner and the DUT host) are running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, however this morning I noticed that the tester system (the one having issues) is running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
This could be the source of the problem. I encountered a dependency issue trying to run the Test Engine on 22.04 LTS, so I downgraded the system. Since the tester is also the host having connection issues, I will try downgrading that system to 20.04, and see if that changes anything.
Unlikely, but who knows. We run tests (DUTs) on Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 22.10, Ubuntu 23.04, Debian 11 and Fedora 38 every night.
Right now Debian 11 is used for test engine in nightly regressions.
I'll double-check test engine on Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04.
I did try passing in the "--vg-rcf" argument to the run.sh script of the test suite after installing valgrind, but there was no additional output that I saw.
Sorry, I should valgrind output should be in valgrind.te_rcf (direction where you run test engine).
I will try pulling in the changes you've pushed up, and will see if that fixes anything.

I've just published a new tag which fixes known test engine side problems on Debian 12 and Fedora 38.
One more idea is to install valgrind on the test engine host and

I was able to replicate the same behavior again, where it hangs while RCF is trying to start.
Running this command, I see this in the output:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:23571 <http://0.0.0.0:23571> 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 18599/ta
So it seems like it is listening on the correct port.
Additionally, I was able to connect to the Tester machine from our Test Engine host using telnet. It printed the PID of the process once the connection was opened.
I tried running the "ta" application manually on the command line, and it didn't print anything at all.
Maybe the issue is something on the Test Engine side.

Before the next try I'd recommend to kill these processes.
Is there any firewall in the network or on test hosts which could
block incoming TCP connection to the port 23571
<http://iol-dts-tester.dpdklab.iol.unh.edu:23571> from the host
where you run test engine?
If behaviour the same on the next try and you see that test agent is
kept running, could you check using
# netstat -tnlp
that Test Agent is listening on the port and try to establish TCP
connection from test agent using
$ telnet iol-dts-tester.dpdklab.iol.unh.edu
<http://iol-dts-tester.dpdklab.iol.unh.edu:23571> 23571
<http://iol-dts-tester.dpdklab.iol.unh.edu:23571>
and check if TCP connection could be established.
Another idea is to login Tester under root as testing does, get
start TA command from the log and try it by hands without -n and
remove extra escaping.
# sudo PATH=${PATH}:/tmp/linux_x86_root_76872_1692885663_1

Hopefully in this case test agent directory remains in the /tmp and
you don't need to copy it as testing does.
May be output could shed some light on what's going on.

Hi Adam,
Yes, TE_RCFUNIX_TIMEOUT is in seconds. I've double-checked
that it goes to 'copy_timeout' in ts-conf/rcf.conf.
Description in in doc/sphinx/pages/group_te_engine_rcf.rst
says that copy_timeout is in seconds and implementation in
lib/rcfunix/rcfunix.c passes the value to select() tv_sec.
Theoretically select() could be interrupted by signal, but I
think it is unlikely here.
I'm not sure that I understand what do you mean by RCF
connection timeout. Does it happen on TE startup when RCF
starts test agents. If so, TE_RCFUNIX_TIMEOUT could help. Or
does it happen when tests are in progress, e.g. in the middle
of a test. If so, TE_RCFUNIX_TIMEOUT is unrelated and most
likely either host with test agent dies or test agent itself
crashes. It would be easier for me if classify it if you share
text log (log.txt, full or just corresponding fragment with
some context). Also content of ta.DPDK or ta.Peer file
depending on which agent has problems could shed some light.
Corresponding files contain stdout/stderr of test agents.

It works sometimes, but most of the time when we try to run

I've tried changing the RCF port by setting

It also seems like the timeout takes far longer than 60

Greatings Adam,
I'm happy to hear that you're trying to bring
it up.
As I understand the final goal is to run it on
regular basis. So, we need to make it properly
from the very beginning.
Bring up of all features consists of 4 steps:
1. Create site-specific repository (we call it
ts-rigs) which contains information about test
rigs and other site-specific information like
where to send mails, where to store logs etc.
It is required for manual execution as well,
since test rigs description is essential. I'll
return to the topic below.
2. Setup logs storage for automated runs.
Basically it is a disk space plus apache2 web
server with few CGI scripts which help a lot to
save disk space.
3. Setup Bublik web application which provides
web interface to view testing results. Same as
https://ts-factory.io/bublik
<https://ts-factory.io/bublik>
4. Setup Jenkins to run tests on regularly,
save logs in log storage (2) and import it to
bublik (3).
Last few month we spent on our homework to make
it simpler to bring up automated execution
using Jenkins -
https://github.com/ts-factory/te-jenkins
<https://github.com/ts-factory/te-jenkins>
Corresponding bits in dpdk-ethdev-ts will be
available tomorrow.
Let's return to the step (1).
Unfortunately there is no publicly available
example of the ts-rigs repository since
sensitive site-specific information is located
there. But I'm ready to help you to create it
for UNH. I see two options here:
(A) I'll ask questions and based on your
answers will create the first draft with my
comments.
(B) I'll make a template/example ts-rigs repo,
publish it and you'll create UNH ts-rigs based
on it.
Of course, I'll help to debug and finally bring
it up in any case.
(A) is a bit simpler for me and you, but (B) is
a bit more generic and will help other
potential users to bring it up.
We can combine (A)+(B). I.e. start from (A).
What do you think?
Thanks,
Andrew.

I have some questions about how to set the
test suite arguments.
I have been able to configure the Test Engine
to connect to the hosts in the testbed. The
RCF, Configurator, and Tester all begin to
run, however the prelude of the test suite
fails to run.
https://ts-factory.io/doc/dpdk-ethdev-ts/index.html#test-parameters <https://ts-factory.io/doc/dpdk-ethdev-ts/index.html#test-parameters>
The documentation mentions that there are
several test parameters for the test suite,
like for the IUT test link MAC, etc. These
seem like they would need to be set somewhere
to run many of the tests.
I see in the Test Engine documentation, there
are instructions on how to create new
parameters for test suites in the Tester
configuration, but there is nothing in the
user guide or in the Tester guide for how to
set the arguments for the parameters when
running the test suite that I can find. I'm
not sure if I need to write my own Tester
config, or if I should be setting these in
some other way.
How should these values be set?
I'm also not sure what environment
variables/arguments are strictly necessary or
which are optional.
Regards,
Adam
