Thanks Cai. Happy to know that you are done with all the test cases, and
only the integration part is pending. I am little bit confused when you
say that you are working on implementing a suitable harness to run those
tests. Does that mean that the way the present LTP-Kdump tests are run
is not suitable to accommodate the enhancements/additions that you are
doing to the LTP-Kdump ?

I do not mind in having a nice harness within LTP for executing the
LTP-Kdump tests, but i would hope that the new harness should also
include the existing LTP-Kdump tests, so that you use the same (new
harness) to tests everything in LTP-Kdump. Let me know what you think
for the same.

[RFC] [KDUMP] [PROPOSED WORK] kdump on Xen hypervisor and guests, more tests for utilities, like makedumpfile, mkdumprd, kexec etc

2008-06-23 Thread Subrata Modak
Hi,

Cai has proposed to work on the above LTP-KDUMP test cases
enrichment/enhancements. Please let us know about your views on the
same. We encourage people to review his proposal and the corresponding
upcoming test cases. I am going to put this soon on the LTP-KDUMP plan
document.

http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/kdump/doc/TEST_PLAN.txt,

Regards--
Subrata

..

Here is my first draft plan of Kexec/Kdump tests enhancement sorted by
priorities. I would like to add them as many as possible.

== filtered vmcore utilities ==
- in different compressed levels, verify the vmcore with the correct
  layout. 
- verify it in flat file or ELF formats from a network host.

== analyse vmcore utilities ==
- GDB
- crash with better error detecting.
- crash to analyse Hypervisor and Dom0 Kernel.

== test scripts ==
- timestamp information for crash was triggered, vmcore was generated,
  and vmcore was verified.
- aim to 100% automation, and reduce manual setup.
- tidy up scripts.

== crash scenarios ==
- SDINT switch for ia64 if possible.
- Hypervisor crash for Virtualization.
- crashes on full- and para-virt guests.

== fix bugs in existing tests ==
- printk LKDTM module can hang the second Kernel.

== kdump configurations and init script ==
- capture vmcore after init runs.
- rpm pre- and post-scripts
- kdump_pre and kdump_post directives

== increase coverages for new kexec/kdump development efforts ==
- new reserved region syntax in Kernel.

[ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been Released for SEPTEMBER 2007

2007-10-16 Thread Subrata Modak
Dear All,

The Linux Test Project test suite has been released for the month of
SEPTEMBER 2007. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+
tests for the Linux OS and can be found at http://ltp.sourceforge.net/.
Latest happenings in LTP can also be found at:
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/,
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php, and,
IRC: irc.freenode.org #ltp.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

Release Highlights:

* Enabling Kernel Version Comparisns for Lots of Testcase(s),
* Removal of Connectathon Testcases for want of GPLV2 license,
* Patching of NUMA Testcases for better Statistics Collection,
* Fixes for KDUMP scripts errors,
* Mandatory generation of failed testcases file,
* Fix of LTP output format as pointed out by Andrew Morton,
* Update of OPENHPI testsuite to 2.10.0,

Note(s) from the Maintainer:
LTP output will see new formats in the coming days. This will make
interpreting output more easily and conceptually. Hope that Real Time
Linux Testcases will see the light of the day by this month end.

We would encourage the community to post results to
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382

[ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been Released for AUGUST 2007

2007-08-30 Thread Subrata Modak

*Dear All*,

The Linux Test Project test suite has been released for the month of 
AUGUST 2007. The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests 
for the Linux OS and can be found at http://ltp.sourceforge.net/. Latest 
happenings in LTP can also be found at:

http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/, and
http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php.

Our web site also contains other information such as:
- A Linux test tools matrix
- Technical papers
- How To's on Linux testing
- Code coverage analysis tool.

*Release Highlights:*
** * Integration of NUMA testcases*
* *Releases of RHEL5 LSPP Certification Test suite***
* * Release of LTP-KDUMP Test-Case Plan*
* * Release of Containers Testcases Plan*
* * Release of GCOV-Kernel & LCOV Packages*
** Merging of OPEN_HPI_TESTSUITE-2.9.3 to LTP*
* Addition of a new Test Case 'swapon03'
* Many more Bug Fixes and Patches
*
*Note(s) from the Maintainer:*
You will see couple of new test-cases in LTP in coming months and also 
broken testcases getting fixed slowly. We want to revisit all testcases 
and hence the time taken is long. From every release onwards you will 
also find results of LTP-RUNALL on different Architectures (_*ia64, 
x86_64, i386, PPC64, s390x*_) on varied Kernels & Distros. This will 
give you more insight into the behaviour of LTP across different platforms.


We encourage the community to post results to [EMAIL PROTECTED], 
and patches, new tests, bugs or comments/questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=103382 (for 
New Bug(s)),
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=303382 (for 
New Patch(s)),
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=3382&atid=353382 (for 
New Feature Request(s))

[ANNOUNCE] LTP Roadmap Released

2007-07-05 Thread Subrata Modak
Hi All,

Sometime back we started retrospection on LTP and the various ways to 
make it better. It resulted in critical evaluation of LTP within & 
outside LTP users community. It also reflected the various ways on 
making it more better and effective. Working in this direction, we have 
come up with a road map which we feel will be helpful to the community. 
The following wiki pages will throw some light on the same:
* http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wiki/
* http://ltp.sourceforge.net/wikiArchives.php

Your comments on the contents and the goals set will be highly 
appreciated. All comments will be published on the above wiki pages.

Regards & Thanks--
Subrata Modak
