Hi Serguei,

Thanks for reviewing! I pushed the changeset just before I took a dinner
break so I won't be able to list you as a reviewer.

Hi Dan and Chris,

Problem-listing it for Xcomp only looks right to me.
Thank you for taking care about it!

Thanks,
Serguei

Hi Dan,

What's the criteria for "noise".

There is no specific criteria that I'm aware of.

It popped up in today's JDK15 testing so it got on my radar (again).


I don't consider the failures for this test as noisy. I only see 3 in mach5 CI testing for all of JDK 15. JDK 14 does  appear to have been somewhat noisy, possibly enough so that it looks like maybe something changed to reduce the number of failures in 15. In any case, do you plan on backporting to 14?

This failure has been around in one form or another since JDK7. If someone
decides to fix it, then they can un-ProblemList it.

I'm planning to push it to JDK15 and JDK16. Those two releases are the focus
of my CI noise reduction efforts. I don't monitor the JDK14u CI...

May I proceed with the ProblemListing?
I just don't feel if we problem list tests with this failure rate that in the long run it is a productive or good thing to do. 3 failures during an entire 6 month CI test cycle seems rather low to me. I'd like to get opinions from others.

It's not just the failure rate. It's the fact that this bug has sat for years without being fixed. I have tracked this bug for a very long time
since I'm the guy that filed both bugs.

Mach5 is showing 54 sightings of 8205957 and here's the linking

As you can see, I've observed and linked this bug a lot.
I'm tired of it.
I still think that what is most relevant is how often it reproduces with CI with the current release, and for that the # is 3 times in 6 months. In our current test history it's failed 6 out of 21390 runs, so you are disabling a test that passes 99.97% of the time. My concern is that if a bug is introduced that makes it start failing every run, or at least very frequently, it will be missed. We need to carefully weigh the annoyance of failure noise with the importance of test coverage. I don't think the balance is right for this test to justify problem listing it.

What you might want to consider is disabling it in the mode where it seems to be failing. The failures all seem to be with -Xcomp. Maybe you should just problem list it in ProblemList-Xcomp.txt.

I didn't notice that this is an -Xcomp only failure. I was able to verify that fact for 46 of the 54 sightings. For the 8 oldest sightings, the task
name has been lost to the dustbin of time so I can't confirm those.

I can move the entry from test/hotspot/jtreg/ProblemList.txt to
test/hotspot/jtreg/ProblemList-Xcomp.txt.

Is this acceptable to you?
Yes, that works for me.

Greetings,

It's time to reduce the noise in the CI so I'm ProblemListing tests.

Here's the bug for failure:

    JDK-8205957 setfldw001/TestDescription.java fails with bad field value
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8205957

and here's the bug for the ProblemListing:

    JDK-8247495 ProblemList vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/SetFieldAccessWatch/setfldw001/TestDescription.java
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8247495

I'm considering this a trivial change so I need a single (R)eviewer.

This issue is actually much older than JDK-8205957 would indicate
(first sighting in JDK11 for that bug ID). The older version of
the test is covered by https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6528079
and that failures first sighting is in JDK7.


Thanks, in advance, for any comments, questions, or suggestions.

Dan
