Hi,
I've consulted with Serviceability engineers (add them to CC list) and
they would like to see tests to solve these problem so far:
2. Implement loops in every test.
Thanks,
Katja

Guys.
Let me try to sum up what was said before and may be suggest a
compromise.
1. There is a desire to have a support port allocation on the level of
a JTReg suite execution. Taras created a bug for that
(https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7195249). Whether it is a
test harness API or a library API does not really matter from usage
point of view.
2. There is no way to make the tests absolutely stable, whatever port
allocation logic is used. The best we could do is to try to perform
the test logic with different ports until the test succeeds.
Both arguments make sense. #2 is the ultimate answer, of course, but
better be used in conjunction with a meaningful port selection algorithm.
At the same time, copying a loop-until-success login from one test to
another may be not the best solution. Library could help with that I
believe. There only need to be an API method which takes behavior as a
parameter and run it until it succeeds. Something like:
public <T> runOnAFreePort(Function<T, Integer>)
or similar. There could be arguments of how/whether to implement it,
the solution would not work for shell tests, etc, but still ...
With the tests in question though, we have a few options.
1. Integrate tests as is. Get to it later after reaching agreement in
the library, etc.
2. Implement loops in every test.
3. Wait for the library to be ready and only then integrate the changes.
Please let us know which one is closer to your heart.
I personally prefer #1 for the reason that the changes already
supposed to make the tests more stable and also there are many more
tests tests which use ports, so the scope of the problem is bigger
than these.

Taras,
I agree with the previous comments, that Utils.getFreePort() does not
guarantee the port will be still free when you start your process.
Unfortunately I don't think the library can do more. However, there is a
solution.
Please, look at the *jdk/test/sun/tools/jstatd/JstatdTest.java
tryToSetupJstatdProcess()*. In brief, the test will try to start a
process with a free port and then check if
/java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use/ has been thrown.
If yes, you have to retry.
Thanks,
Katja

Hi Everyone,
Whatever logic is to be chosen to select a free port, it is the
library responsibility to implements it, would not you agree?
Hence what I am suggesting is to integrate the tests as is.
Should we decide to replace logic of the port selection, we could do
it later in the library.

Roger,
As soon as we close a socket nobody can guarantee that the port is
free.
Moreover, port returned by getFreePort()[1] remains not accessible
for
some time - it depends to system setup, take a look to discussions
around SO_REUSEPORT for Linux or SO_REUSEADDR and SO_LINGER for BSD.
So from stability point of view it's better to just return random
number
between 49152 and 65535.
Well, this doesn't seem to improve the odds by much. When there are
more
tests run in parallel, all of them requiring a free port, nothing
prevents the random function to return the same port to all of them.
Also, two subsequent requests can return the same port and cause
problems with timing when a port used by a previous test is not fully
ready to be assigned to a different socket. And as Dmitry pointed out
unless one can keep hold of the allocated socket and use it later
there
is no guarantee that a port which was tested unallocated will remain
unallocated also for the next few milliseconds.
The only fail proof solution would be a port allocating service
provided
by the harness. Until then we can only (hopefully) decrease the chance
of intermittent failures due to a port being in use.

Hi,
fyi, The jdk.testlibrary.Utils.getFreePort() method will Open an
free
Socket, close it and return
the port number.
And as Alan recommended, use (0) when possible to have the system
assign
the port #.

Taras,
*The only* correct way to take really free port is:
1. Chose random number between 49152 and 65535
2. Open socket
if socket fails - repeat step 1
if socket OK - return *socket*
If you can't keep the socket open (e.g. you have to pass port
number as
property value) you shouldn't do any pre-check as it has no value
- as
as soon as you close socket someone can take the port.
So just choose a random number within the range above and let
networking
code opening socket to handle port conflict.

Hi Everyone,
I am working on bug
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7195249.
There are two webrevs:
Webrev for jdk part:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anazarov/7195249/jdk/webrev.00/
Webrev for hs part:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anazarov/7195249/hs/webrev.00/
Please take a look at some notes:
- After discussing with Yekaterina Kantserova & Jaroslav Bachorik
some
shell tests have been converted to java based tests
- PasswordFilePermissionTest & SSLConfigFilePermissionTest tests
looked
very similar, so a common parent class was created for them:
AbstractFilePermissionTest
- What was called RmiRegistrySslTest.java I've renamed to
RmiRegistrySslTestApp.java. The java code to replace old shell
script
RmiRegistrySslTest.sh is called RmiRegistrySslTest.java, hence the
huge
diff.
- The new RmiRegistrySslTest.java has some lines similar to the
AbstractFilePermissionTest.java, I nevertheless decided to not
complicate the code further and leave it as is. Please let me
know if
this is somehow not acceptable
- com/oracle/java/testlibrary/Utils.java that is added to hotspot
repository is taken from this patch:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ykantser/8023138/webrev.00/test/lib/testlibrary/jdk/testlibrary/Utils.java.sdiff.html
- These tests will need additional changes when test library
process
tools will support command line options inheritance
