You mean a common blktests testcase, right?
For NVMe, that test would:
a. try to remove NVMe ko when we have the delayed removal active
b. ensure that we can queue for no path
I suppose that a common testcase could be possible (with dm mpath),
but doesn't dm have its own testsuite?
Yes, I'd add a blktest for 'queue_if_no_path' feature. But as we know we
have
separate test suite for dm under blktests, I'd first target nvme
testcase and
then later add another testcase for dm-multipath.
Testing a. is a challenge to be effective, as we would typically not be
able to remove the nvme modules anyway due to many other references.
For b, how about something like the following:
set_conditions() {
_set_nvme_trtype "$@"
}
_delayed_nvme_reconnect_ctrl() {
sleep 2
_nvme_connect_subsys
}
test() {
echo "Running ${TEST_NAME}"
_setup_nvmet
local nvmedev
local ns
local bytes_written
_nvmet_target_setup
_nvme_connect_subsys
# Part a: Ensure writes fail when no path returns
nvmedev=$(_find_nvme_dev "${def_subsysnqn}")
ns=$(_find_nvme_ns "${def_subsys_uuid}")
echo 10 > "/sys/block/"$ns"/delayed_removal_secs"
bytes_written=$(run_xfs_io_pwritev2 /dev/"$ns" 4096)
if [ "$bytes_written" != 4096 ]; then
echo "could not write successfully initially"
fi
sleep 1
_nvme_disconnect_ctrl "${nvmedev}"
sleep 1
ns=$(_find_nvme_ns "${def_subsys_uuid}")
