    • splice08 Test for splicing from /dev/zero and /dev/full
    • splice09 Test for splicing to /dev/zero and /dev/null
    • shmat04 A regression test for fc0c8f9089c2
      ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge() case 7 with vma_ops->close")
    • aslr01 Tests that hugepages, that cause addesses to be aligned to higher
      order of 2, are not used for libraries when ASLR is enabled.

  • Increased coverage

    • getsockname01 More negative testcases
    • getsockopt01 More negative testcases
    • bind01 More negative testcases
    • swapon01 Runs on all supported filesystems now
    • waitpid01 Tests all deadly signals now
    • fanotify01 Tests setting two marks on different filesystems

  • Rewritten tests

    • msgstress testcases were rewritten into a single msgstress01 test
      this should finally fix the test to scale well from small embedded boards
      towards big servers

    • symlink01 has been split into several testcases, previously several different
      testcases were build from the source based on different messy ifdefs

  • UCLINUX support was completely removed from LTP

    It was unmaintained and partially broken and nobody stepped up to maintain
    the support.

  • Small runtest files cleanup

    • runtest/io was merged into ltp-aiodio.part4
    • runtest/cap_bounds and runtest/filecaps were merged into single runtest file

  • 32 testcases were converted to the new test library

  • The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

  • New tests

    • nfs09 Regression test for file truncation on NFS.

  • Increased coverage

    • nfsstat01.sh: Add support for NFSv4*

  • Removed tests

    • clockdiff01.sh Testing clockdiff is not relevant nowadays.
    • telnet01.sh Testing telnet not make sense nowadays, remove it.
    • xinetd_tests.sh Testing xinetd is not relevant nowadays.
    • host01.sh The test does not work in all cases since testing host require
      proper DNS setup or internet connection. Rather than fixing this
      it makes sense to remove the test.

New documentation

We have finally started working on a comprehensive documentation for LTP and
it's test library, the current state can be seen at:

NOTABLE CHANGES

  • New tests

  • Increased coverage

    • ioctl02 cover more modern termios ioctls() as well.

    • fanotify13 More test coverage for overlayfs.

    • input* test now check UI_GET_NAME ioctl() too.

  • Removed tests

    • fork12 Which was a naive fork bomb test, we do have other tests
      (setrlimit01.c, ...) that better cover this scenario.

    • mongo test framework

      Which was test reiser, ext2 and jfs unmaintained for a decade.

    • simple_tracer.c Tracing test from 2009 that does not compile anymore.

    • runtest/fsx-linux This is consolidation of runtest files, since these test
      duplicated in ltp-aiodio.part3.

    • testscripts/autofs{1,4}.sh, testscripts/sysfs.sh,
      testscripts/ltp-scsi_debug.sh, testscripts/ltpdmmapper.sh

      These were unmaintained and unused scripts.

    • scsi/* A testsuite with a custom kernel module for kernel 2.5 that didn't
      compile cleanly for decades.

    • load_stress_all_kernel_modules.sh Broken for quite some time.

  • The LTP library now has a functions to iterate over different
    file descriptors. That allows us to easily implement more comprehensive tests
    that feed various syscalls all possible file descriptors and check that the
    syscall fails properly with invalid combinations. Most notable use of this
    library is the newly introduced splice07.c test.

  • The minimal size of the device for a few filesystem tests was increased to
    1GB because modern filesystems, most notably Btrfs does not work properly on
    smaller devices.

  • LTP now tests bcachefs if kernel support and bcache.mkfs is present

  • 30 testcases were converted to the new test library

  • The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

The performance tests in net.features can be now skipped by setting
LTP_NET_FEATURES_IGNORE_PERFORMANCE_FAILURE=1 which is useful when testing is
executed on VMs on a overloaded host or if we are running tests with a
background load.

KIRK (previously RUNLTP-NG)

Kirk was updated to v1.2

This version brings the following updates:

  • show both stdout and stderr when executing tests on host
  • support for external commands on different SUTs
  • warning message when SUT doesn't support parallel execution
  • more stable epoll() communication with LTX
  • minor fixes
  • updated documentation

LTP 20220121

Since the last release 269 patches by 32 authors were merged.

Patch review is what most of the projects struggle with and LTP is no
different. If you can spare some effort helping with the patch review is more
than welcomed.

NOTABLE CHANGES

  • New tests

    • quotactl{08,09} tests for quota info hidden in filesystem.
    • fanotify22 test for FAN_FS_ERROR events by intentionally corrupting a fs image
    • memcontrol02 test for cgroup memory.current and memory.stat
    • memcontrol01 test for cgroup subtree_control and memory controller
    • write06 test if write() works correctly with O_APPEND fd
    • statx08 statx test for the stx_attributes_mask
    • fanotify{20,21} tests for FAN_REPORT_PIDFD
    • irqbalance01 test that tries to assert that IRQ are spread between CPUs reasonably
    • dup207 tests that file offset is correct for both original and dup()ed fds
    • dup206 tests special case where oldfd == newfd
    • ima_conditionals.sh test uid, gid, fowner, and fgroup options added
      in kernel commit 40224c41661b ("ima: add gid support") from v5.16

  • Increased coverage

    • quotactl* tests added support for quotactl_fd and hidden quota files
    • quotaclt* tests also test with vfsv1 format
    • statx01 added check for stx_mnt_id
    • statx01 added check for nlink
    • stat01 added check for nlink
    • finit_module02 added ETXTBSY check
    • epoll_create added two test variants (libc wrapper and raw syscall)
    • creat09 runs on all filesystems now
    • dup202 added check that file mode is same after it has been changed on dup()ed fd

  • The test library process, that watches over timeouts and carries on with the
    test cleanup, now adjusts it's own OOM score so that it's more likely that it
    outlives the child process that runs the test

  • First half of the ltp-aiodio testcases was rewritten and cleaned up

    • the rewritten tests are free of runtest file hacks that were problematic for years
    • the second half should get fixed during the next development cycle
    • the rewritten tests so far are:
      • dio_truncate
      • dio_read (previously ltp-diorh)
      • dio_append
      • dio_sparse
      • aiodio_append

  • 39 tests were rewritten to the new library

  • 'make check' improvements

    • added check if test.tags is properly NULL terminated
    • added check if test global functions and variables are static
    • fixed not to report tst_ prefixed static inline functions

  • The test library gained support for 'known-fail' tag

    • to mark kernel bugs that are unfixed for a long time
    • this is similar to the existing tags
    • the first use of the interface are ustat() tests that are failing on Btrfs
      ever since the introduction of the filesystem

  • The test library gained support for version check when a tool is required to
    be installed on a system, e.g. .needs_cmds = {"mkfs.ext4 >= 1.43.0", NULL} will
    skip the test unless the mkfs.ext4 is present and the version is at least 1.43.0

  • The test library added .supported_archs field to the test_test structure
    which can be used to limit the test to a subset of CPU architectures

  • The test library added .skip_in_compat flag to skip tests in compat (-m32) mode

  • The shell library gained support boolean expressions on kernel .config
    variables

  • New environment variable KCONFIG_SKIP_CHECK was added that allows users to
    skip kernel config checks

  • New environment variable LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE was added that can be
    used to limit tests that run against all filesystem to a single one

  • The new library testcases now print environment variables in help (-h)

  • The test metadata are parsed during the build and installed by default now,
    which is another step towards making the test executor smarter.

  • The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

WHAT IS IN THE QUEUE

In-flight patchse include:

  • KVM test infrastructure that would allow us implement KVM regression tests
  • watchqueue (pipe based kernel notification) testsuite
  • futex_waitv tests
  • CGroup testcases and fixes
  • Test runtime API for the test library that would allow us to controll
    testrun runtime explicitly and fix a few tests that run into timeouts
    on older/slower hardware

Unfortunately the runltp-ng is still not included in LTP, we will try to work
on it during the next development cycle as well, but we can't promise it will
be rock stable to be included in the next release either.

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

  • NFS tests get support for emulating external server activity
  • fix: run exportfs at "server side" in LTP_NETNS case
  • new test: nfs07.sh - NFS directory listing regression

Since the last release 483 patches by 40 authors were merged.

This is a record breaking release by the number of patches as well as by the
amount of newly implemented functionality. Many thanks to all contributors!

And even more thanks to the reviewers!

    • which is a tool for developers that runs various sanity checks on the source code
    • this includes:
      • checkpatch.pl, custom set of sparse rules for C
      • checkbashism.pl for shell
    • please make sure you run 'make check' or 'make check-testname' and fix the
      warnings before submitting patches

  • Subset of our library tests i.e. tests for the test library is now executed
    CI in github actions, this is ongoing effort to make sure that the test library
    used by the testcases is working as expected

  • The test library was fixed to print all messages to stderr

  • Testcases were fixed not to expect certain users and groups to be present on the system

    • some tests were expecting bin, daemon and similar groups and users to exist on the system
    • now LTP depends only on user 'nobody' and group 'nogroup'

  • New environment variable LTP_VIRT_OVERRIDE was added

  • Fixed (again) timeouts in shell test library

    • turns out you cannot make timeouts in shell race-free so the timeout logic
      is now implemented in a small C helper binary

  • Finally after the years we are slowly making tests limits-aware

    • cgropup tests and a few others are now aware of pid limits imposed by the system
    • next step would be doing rough estimates on the number of processes we can run
      based on the free system memory

  • There is ongoing effort to fix LTP cgroup tests, this release includes many
    small fixes and improvements in the cgroup tests

  • The aarch64 system call table was fixed not to include 32bit only syscall numbers

  • The TST_EXP_*() macros were improved and a few bugs were fixed

  • The test library developer documentation and tutorials were reorganized and improved

  • The more that the usual amount of fixes and cleanups

WHAT IS IN THE QUEUE

Next release will hopefully include runltp-ng which is new and improved LTP
testrunner. The current runltp script will be maintained alongside with the
new solution for some time but removed after a few releases.

You are more than welcome to try it and make sure that it works for you before
it becomes the official LTP testrunner.

See: https://github.com/metan-ucw/runltp-ng
