Using power-on command with pyocd boot method

by Andrei Narkevitch

Hi, our boards are powered via PDU and before flashing with pyocd, they need to be powered up first. I defined power_on_command in the device dictionary, but it is ignored. It looks like an only limited set of methods add ResetDevice action to the pipeline and pyocd is not among them. Contrarily, if defined, power_off command always gets invoked because it is added by FinalizeAction to every test. I'm wondering if there is any way to issue the power-on command without modifying the dispatcher pipeline source code. Thanks, Andrei Narkevitch, Cypress Semiconductor This message and any attachments may contain confidential information from Cypress or its subsidiaries. If it has been received in error, please advise the sender and immediately delete this message.

Request to know one example on prepare-scp-overlay

by Chetan Sharma

Hi Everyone Can anyone share sample Yaml File and Usecase using "prepare-scp-overlay" using MultiNode. Some calls can only be made against specific actions. Specifically, the prepare-scp-overlay action needs the IP address of the host device to be able to copy the LAVA overlay (containing the test definitions) onto the device before connecting using ssh to start the test. This is a complex configuration to write. -- Thanks & Regards Chetan Sharma

lava-tool wait-job-events

by Loys Ollivier

Hello everyone, I am using lava-tool to monitor my jobs. Previously I used: $ lava-tool submit-job --block Using version of lava-tool 0.23 I now have this message: --> This kind of polling is deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please use "wait-for-job" command. But "wait-for-job" doesn't exist. There is a "wait-job-events" option though. I tried this one and it doesn't return even once the job has finished. If I manually stop it and restart it with the same job number I get as output: --> Job already finished with status Complete. Command I'm using: $ lava-tool wait-job-events --job-id 20 http://user@lava-server Is there anything I'm doing incorrectly ? Or are you aware of this bug ? Thanks ! -- Loys OLLIVIER

Booting with Coreboot/Depthcharge

by Guillaume Tucker

A change was sent a while ago to add support for the Coreboot / Depthcharge bootloader which is used on Chromebook devices. This is useful in particular to avoid having to install U-Boot on Chromebook devices. See this Gerrit review here for previous history: https://review.linaro.org/#/c/15203/ I'm now opening this case again to try and get this resolved, there seem to be several issues with the original patch that would need to be clarified. Also, some things might have changed since then in LAVA or Coreboot which could potentially lead to a different approach - any feedback on this would be welcome. To start with, I understand that running mkimage on the dispatcher is not a valid thing to do, it should receive a FIT (flattened image tree) kernel image ready to be booted. This complicates things a bit for projects like kernelci.org where only a plain kernel image is built and ramdisks are served separately, but it's fair enough to say that LAVA is not meant to be packaging kernel images on the fly. Then I believe creating the command line file in LAVA should be fine, although it probably makes more sense to have both the FIT image and cmdline file generated by the same build system. In any case, both files would need to be served from the dispatcher TFTP server to the target device running Coreboot / Depthcharge. So the idea was basically to have an option in Coreboot / Depthcharge to interactively tell it where to find these files for the current job to run, say: <JOB_NUMBER>/tftp-deploy-<RANDOM>/kernel/vmlinuz <JOB_NUMBER>/tftp-deploy-<RANDOM>/kernel/cmdline It looks like the current patch in Gerrit relies on this location to be hard-coded in the bootloader, which works fine for a private development set-up but not for LAVA. To recap, my understanding is that the "depthcharge" boot support code in LAVA would need to: * maybe create the cmdline file with basically the kernel command line split up with one argument per line * or just download the cmdline file along with the vmlinuz FIT * place both the cmdline and vmlinuz FIT files in the job's TFTP directory on the dispatcher * turn on the device and open the serial console... * interactively pass at least the path to the job TFTP directory on the serial console (and if possible the server IP address as well, and maybe even the individual file names rather than hard-coded vmlinuz and cmdline) * look for a bootloader message to know when the kernel starts to load and hand over to the next action (login...) Please let me know if this sounds reasonable or if we should be doing anything differently. I think it would be good to have some agreement and a clear understanding of how this is going to be implemented before starting to work on the code again. Best wishes, Guillaume

Better bootloader failure detection

by Matt Hart

Currently it is difficult to tell the difference between an infrastructure problem in a device bootloader, or a kernel failure. If a kernel silently fails to boot, LAVA throws a bootloader-commands timeout because it hasn’t matched ‘Linux version’ to know the kernel has started. However, this timeout could also be caused by a real problem in the bootloader, such as a DHCP failure or a TFTP timeout. KernelCI would like to catch actual infrastructure problems in the bootloader, but can’t tell if the kernel just didn’t boot, or the commands actually timed out in the bootloader. To fix this, we're going to: - change the bootloader-commands action to finish when it has sent the last command - have auto-login-action takeover monitoring the kernel boot process - extend bootloader-commands to match more infrastructure problems - update uboot commands to execute the commands in order (like the other bootloader implementations), rather than building a script and then calling that as the last command This work is scoped for the January 2018.1 LAVA release.

Job stuck

by Thomas Petazzoni

Hello, We have an installation where we use LAVA 2017.12. We are regularly seeing jobs that remain stuck for several days. For example, I have a job right now on the Armada XP GP that is stuck since 1 day and 11 hours. The log visible in the LAVA Web interface looks like this: http://code.bulix.org/7pvru8-255308?raw This is job #855671 in our setup. The logs on the lava-slave look like this: http://code.bulix.org/c5tejy-255312?raw So, from the lava-slave point of view, the job is finished. However, the "Job END" message had to be resent several times to the master. Interestingly, this sequence lead to a very nice: ERROR [855671] lava-run crashed On the lava-master side (which runs on another machine), the logs look like this: http://code.bulix.org/b61keb-255316?raw And this happens for lots of jobs. Pretty much every day or two, we have ten boards stuck in this situation. I have the lava-master logs with DEBUGs if this can be helpful. However, must DEBUG logs don't have the job number in them, so it makes it difficult to associate the DEBUG messages with the problematic job (since numerous other jobs are running). Does anyone has an idea what could be causing this ? Or how to debug this further ?

Help: using custom script - run.sh error

Need Help With Simplistic Testing Over SSH

by Tan, Jian Chern

Hi, I'm trying to get started with LAVA by first attempting to do some simplistic testing over SSH to run some tests on a device that doesn't have a default template. I'm getting a few connection errors and others like output ['Permission denied (publickey,password).\r', 'lost connection', ''] and it's probably because I've misconfigured the jinja files, having little experience with these LAVA jinja templates. Attached are the job logs, jinja2 template files and the test yaml file. Could anyone point me in the right direction by either providing sample ssh jinja files and job files or pointing out the errors in my config. Thanks! Thanks! Jian Chern

Unpacking tar.bz2 root filesystems seems to malfunction

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Hi all! I am working with some Raspberry Pi boards and, while defining some particularities for booting via NFS, I came across an issue regarding the way the rootfs file is unpacked. To be more specific, after looking through the LAVA code, it seems that the untar_file() method runs on the conditional branch that states the tar members are specified. I do not understand how this implementation is designed in regards to tar archive manipulation, but the following scenario takes place: * The rootfs archive we specify in the job definition is copied and renamed, the extension being changed from .tar.bz2 to a plain .tar (which seems a bit strange tom e, on its own) * Then, after unpacking to the LAVA temp job dir, only two directories are extracted from the whole rootfs archive. I did manage to „inverveene” while the job was running and looking in the temp dir to see exactly what gets extracted. Since the rest of the folders from the rootfs are not available, the job fails once the system starts booting While investigating, I noticed that the untarf_file() method is invoked from download.py (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lava_dispatcher/pipeline/actions/deploy/) - @ line 344 – with members being specified. I know that, because when I manually changed how this call is made and clearly specified “None” for the “member” positional argument, I get the following error at job runtime: https://paste.debian.net/1001252/ (the full job log can be found here: https://paste.debian.net/1001253/ ) The code changes I am talking about (and the code where I suspect something is ambiguous) are pointed out here: https://paste.debian.net/1001256/ . A job definition we use for this board integration can be analyzed here: https://paste.debian.net/1001257/ The full log of the initial job, that ran without my code changes, can be found here: https://paste.debian.net/1001254/ . The „kernel panic” message ocurs because, as stated in one of the errors, the “init” folder is missing, which is accurate, because only bin & dev are extracted from our rootfs tar.bz2 archive. What could we do? Is this something that needs to be adjusted/fixed in LAVA? Kind regards, Dragoș

about the grub parameter : interrupt_prompts

by Xu, Hongyu

Hi , In our testing, we must test the os centos and Ubuntu, but the grub interrupt_prompts is different betweent Ubuntu and centos. So in my device_type template I use "menu_options: {{ grub_method }}", but the "grub_method" must define in device jinjia2 file. I don't want to often chang the device jinja2 file , whether I can define some options in the job file? Please give me some help! The attachmen are my device_type and device file! methods: grub: menu_options: {{ grub_method }} parameters: {% if grub_method == 'centos' %} interrupt_prompt: {{ grub_interrupt_prompt|default('Press \'e\' to edit the selected item, or \'c\' for a command prompt.') }} {% elif grub_method == 'ubuntu' %} interrupt_prompt: {{ grub_interrupt_prompt|default(' Press enter to boot the selected OS') }} {% elif grub_method == 'pxe' %} interrupt_prompt: {{ grub_interrupt_prompt|default('Press \'e\' to edit the selected item, or \'c\' for a command prompt.') }} {% endif %} bootloader_prompt: {{ grub_efi_bootloader_prompt|default('grub>') }} boot_message: {{ kernel_boot_message | default("Booting Linux Kernel...") }} Best Regards XuHongyu This email is intended only for the named addressee.

Connection closed by foreign host

by Philippe BEGNIC

Hello Lava Team, We faced to errors when we launched long tests ( e.g LTP tests, stress tests ... ) since we use Lava dockers. The following messages are returned by Lava and the test stop : Connection closed by foreign host. err: lava_test_shell connection dropped Marking unfinished test run as failed These error messages appears during the test, if no message are generated on the console during approximatively six minutes. We found a workaround that consist to send periodically message to the console, allowing the test to complete. I would like to know if we can setup a setting to I would like to know if there is a way to inhibit this control, or to change the timeout settings of this control ? Our configuration : Lava 2017.6 with dockers Regards Philippe Begnic

Troubles using custom notification client

by David Lewin

Hi, >From a client side, I'd like to be notified that jobs are achieved in a distant lava server. I started with the example provided at https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/data-export.html#write-your-ow… 1. In a 1st try I've changed the example - because I'm using port 10080 - and it works without the <lookup_publisher> . For that, I've hard coded the url returned by lookup_publisher but this only prints out one status at a time, ie :I needed to restart the script each time to have updates : "Submited"->*Ctrl-C*->Running->*Ctrl-C*->complete 2. In a 2nd time I've tried to implement lookup_publisher thinking the status would be updated automatically.

Device Integration Stories - request for contributions

by Neil Williams

Possibly the hardest thing that can be done with LAVA is to integrate a new device-type. Every story is different, every device has it's own issues. The LAVA software team would like to build a history of integration stories to document the recovery process, provide integration hints for others, build a wider picture of the requirements of automation across the ecosystem. A key part of any device integration is how to recover a device which has been taken offline by a broken build or broken test action. It is rare that a new device is suitable for LAVA directly out of the box, there are usually firmware updates, configuration changes, jumper settings or other mods required. Each of these steps needs to be documented so that someone else can integrate the same board into their instance and the same steps are useful when recovering a bricked device. Having the Jinja2 template is not usually enough. (As a side note on that, we do welcome all contributions of new jinja2 templates. The one place where everyone looks for new device-type support is lava_scheduler_app/tests/device-types/ in the master branch of http://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-server.git. If you have integrated a device-type which does not exist in that directory, please follow the contribution guidelines in the documentation and submit your Jinja2 template for review.) https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-server.git/tree/lava_scheduler_app/tests/d… Recent device integrations in LAVA are documented through a process of comments on JIRA stories (all LAVA JIRA stories are accessible anonymously). Sometimes this turns out to be trial and error, so sometimes a README document or similar is created for easy reference. I'll post some of our recovery README documents on this thread later. This is a request for contributions of your integration stories, your device recovery README documents and your input on what are the minimum requirements for automation in general. It doesn't matter how unusual the hardware or how commonplace. It doesn't matter if it took months to integrate or days. Someone may need your information to setup the same device in their instance. If your device is available on the open market, someone could be thinking of how to automate it. Please post your recovery README texts, integration stories here. This list is publicly archived, so this should make it easy for others to find your contribution in their favourite search engine. In future, as well as unit tests, the LAVA software team may ask for the recovery notes and integration story to be posted here when reviewing contributions of Jinja2 templates. -- Neil Williams ============= neil.williams(a)linaro.org http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/

Setting the "inactivity timeout" parameter

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Hello! Is there a way to set/override/disable the inactivity timeout? While working with a (sometimes) slower board, we end up with "Terminal.stop: Inactivity timeout." . I believe this might have to do with the fact that the board fails to respond in a timely fashion and LAVA marks this as hung. While searching for this in the docs, I only found a reference for hacking sessions. Kind regards, Dragos

rootfs resize in LAVA2

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Hi everyone! Does LAVA offer a way to resize rootfs images (“ramdisk_files”, as they are referred to in the code) before deploying them? We are working with our own Linux distro on a Cavium board and we need to resize the rootfs image (which is ext4) after the test overlays are added by LAVA. This step is necessary since we need to run a series of community tests that imply a large number of package dependencies. Also, we do not want to resize the whole image by default, since this will have other CI storage side effects and, also, some policy implications (that I am not really aware of 😊). Anyway, we are currently looking at adding/altering apply_overlay.py (pipeline/actions/) in order to run a resize2fs command after the “updated” ramdisk is unmounted. Just wondering if there is already a more elegant way of doing this. We are also considering making some extensions and maybe get to the point where we could specify this type of requirement in the device dictionary or the device template itself, and then specific code would be executed only if such a setting would be encountered at runtime, but that remains to be discussed. Thanks in advance! Dragoș

Local lava test

by Denis HUMEAU

Dear all, I'm quite sure I've seen somewhere in Lava documentation an article explaining how to replay some Lava jobs in a local mode, but I can't find this piece of information anymore. By local mode, I mean: - DUT at the developer desk, not in the test farm - Jobs available on a Lava server - Developer wants to replay/modify locally a job Can you share any link or help on this?

Customizing the deployment and booting actions

by Ros Dos Santos, Alfonso (CT RDA DS EVO OPS DIA SE 1)

Hello everyone, in our current project we have some devices that are not "directly" supported by lava. I would like to ask for you opinion on which would be the correct way to proceed. The main problem is that our devices have a EFI implementation in the firmware that is making the task of installing uboot very hard. To avoid this, we thought about serving the image through an "emulated" usb stick. On that regard, we made some progress by setting up a secondary device that would use the linux g_mass_storage module to serve the image through the USB otg port. Our setup is then: 1) The actual testing device 2) The secondary device which only serves the image with g_mass_storage 3) The host machine running the lava-slave application. We thought that we could add a new device-type template to the lava server that would somehow override the deployment and boot actions to address our setup. We tried to look into the base.jinja2 file for some sort of entry point that would allow us to, for example, run a script that would first send the image to the secondary device and secondly run the g_mass_storage module with the image file. Unfortunately, it is still not clear for us how exactly we could inject/override those steps and ignore for instance the boot loader commands. The first question would be, are we going in the right direction? Is there any piece of documentation that would describe a similar problem? What would be your recommendations on this topic? thanks a lot in advance. Best, Alfonso

LAVA and Mender

by Arnstein Kleven

Greetings, my embedded system is using Mender for over-the-air updates. The way Mender works is that the embedded system needs to have to rootfs partitions, where one is actively being used, and the other is written to when a over-the-air update is initiated. After the new rootfs is written, Mender will change a variable in the bootloader environment and reboot, so that the system boots into the new rootfs. If there is a problem booting into the new rootfs, the bootloader will be set to boot into the old one again. Has anyone here written LAVA tests for systems that use Mender? If so, have you experienced that Mender has complicated the test automation? Any Mender boot test templates would also be appreciated. -- Kind regards, Arnstein Kleven

Migrating scheduling into lava-master

by Neil Williams

LAVA requires a range of singleton daemon processes to schedule, organise, publish and log the test job operations. 2017.12 will be retiring the lava-server daemon and the /var/log/lava-server/lava-scheduler.log, moving those operations into the lava-master daemon and the /var/log/lava-server/lava-master.log. This is one of the steps in the removal of V1. This leads a substantial change to how admins approach an instance running 2017.12 or later. When jobs don't appear to be running for some reason, the default action is to check /var/log/lava-server/lava-scheduler.log - once the instance is running 2017.12 or later, admins need to remember that it is correct for: * /var/log/lava-server/lava-scheduler.log to be empty * the status of the lava-server daemon to be active (exited) * the lava-server service to not restart At some point after 2017.12 has been running, admins can choose to archive or purge /var/log/lava-server/lava-scheduler.log* and / or disable the lava-server service using systemctl. The scheduler from 2017.12 onwards will consist of: * /var/log/lava-server/lava-master.log * /var/log/lava-server/lava-logs.log * the status of the lava-master daemon will be active (running) * the lava-master service will restart when admins request it. -- Neil Williams ============= neil.williams(a)linaro.org http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/

Fitting the LAVA overlay into an Android rootfs

by Steve McIntyre

[ Related-ish to the discussion in the "Fastboot - Android boot image apply-overlay" thread, but also slightly different so I'm starting a new discussion here... ] Hi folks, We were just discussing in IRC about potential problems with Android images in LAVA, in terms of fitting the overlay. Ideally, the Android builds would have a rootfs configured to be as small as possible - it's automatically resized to fit the available space at first boot, and leaving space otherwise is inefficient. However, if we're going to add the LAVA test overlay into the rootfs, space needs to be left for it to fit. That's not *necessarily* a problem, except that at build time the Android builds don't know how much space we're going to need! This leads to a bit of a chicken-and-eff problem. Anibal has already hacked around this a little bit as a workaround in a job definition - see https://validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1652299/definition#defline92 In the lxc, he's converting and expanding the rootfs image to make more space, then converting back ready for flashing. This is still quite hacky - there's still no information available there about the size of the LAVA overlay. It might fit now, but what happens if there's a new LAVA version next month with (hypothetically) a much bigger overlay? So, I'm thinking about a better way to do things here, in 2 parts: 1 .At the point when we apply the overlay, we know roughly how big it is and we could do the resizing of the image to fit directly without needing this guesswork. It's a relatively easy thing to do. 2. [Optionally] If we end up growing the rootfs image ourselves, it *might* end up overflowing the size available when we come to flash things, but "fastboot flash" will check this and abort. I even suggested that (to fail more quickly) we could parse the GPT partition table for size ourselves, but Nicolas pointed out that not all jobs will necessarily have such a partition table. Instead, *maybe* we could include a "maximum rootfs size" parameter somewhere if we care. Otherwise, just rely on fastboot doing the right thing. Does this sound sensible?

Fastboot - Android boot image apply-overlay

by Anibal Limon

Hi, I'm trying to apply-overlay (test tarball) to a ramdisk inside Android boot image , the image contains the kernel (zImage), ramdiisk (initrd.img) and a config file (bootimg.cfg). The Android boot image can be modified using abootimg, for example: $ abootimg -x boot.img $ abootimg-extract-unpack-initrd $ tar -xvzf overlay-5.2.4.tgz -C ramdisk $ abootimg-extract-pack-initrd $ abootimg -u boot.img -r init.rd Currently i can execute a test shell into LXC to make the extraction of the boot image [1][2], the issue i have is that the test overlay tarball (for example: overlay-5.2.4.tgz), isn't available because the creation is handled after the LXC pipeline by deploy action to the target device [3][4]. Any feedback would be appreciate. Best regards, Anibal [1] https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/196031/definition#defli… [2] https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/196031 [3] https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/196031/definition#defli… [4] https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-dispatcher.git/tree/lava_dispatcher/action…

error while executing LAVA power on script

by Philippe BEGNIC

Hello Lava team, We have implemented new scripts to support flashing in our "power on" script. This script manage the PDU, boot pins configuration of the board and an external ST flasher. At the beginning of the job, the "power on" script is launched. Then I got the following error message <line way too long ...> . This cause the execution script to be interrupted, but the job is not interrupted and can continue without flashing the board. I do not have any additional logs regarding this error on the LAVA web interface. Our power on script is composed of several scripts that are "chained", script power on call another script, that call another one. Do you have an idea about this error ? Details concerning our configuration : * we use LAVA V2 ( version 06/2017 ). * our jobs are pipelined jobs ( LAVA V2) * Lava server // dispatcher are installed through dockers. BR Philippe

Moving to systemd

by Neil Williams

LAVA, until now, has packaged SysVinit files to manage the various daemons but there have been longstanding problems with log rotation and the need to carry redundant code to manage the daemonize process for python scripts. This has allowed instances to support both SysVinit and systemd because systemd automatically converts the SysVinit files to systemd service files. Now that V1 has been removed, it has become possible and advantageous to drop SysVinit support and move to only systemd support. This is expected to mean that lava-dispatcher (and therefore lava-server) will depend on systemd-sysv, i.e. systemd needs to be the init system to be able to start the daemons upon which LAVA relies. A default install of Debian Jessie and Stretch already defaults to using systemd as the init system, so this does not necessarily involve any changes. If there are questions or issues with this, please reply to the lava-users mailing list. -- Neil Williams ============= neil.williams(a)linaro.org http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/

Binary flashing test for Dragonboard 410

by Alfred Ziskind

Hi all, We are planning implementing a test that uses QDL (https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/qdl.git/) for DragonBoard flashing. Scenario: after we flashed the binaries with QDL we want to check in the serial log if the boot sequence is correct. Can we develop this test in LAVA? If not, please recommend a test framework that can. Thank you, Alfred

LAVA 2017.11 release

by Neil Williams

See https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lava-announce/2017-September/000037.html 2017.11 is the second release on the roadmap to the removal of V1. This is the single largest change ever made to the LAVA packages. * All dashboard URLs are permanently disabled in lava-server. * All devices which were not enabled for V2 are now hidden and unusable. * All V1 code has been removed from lava-dispatcher. * All V1 documentation has been removed from lava-server-doc. 2017.11 disables all access to any V1 test data - including V1 only devices. The data itself remains in the database but is not accessible via any API. If you have chosen to keep an archive of V1 test data and have not yet done so, you should do this before installing this upgrade. At the very least, you **must** have a backup of your postgresql database **before** you upgraded to 2017.11 in order to make a V1 test data archive later. 2017.11 requires that **all** workers and each associated master are upgraded to 2017.11 for test jobs to continue running. This is because there have been very large changes to the directories and file layout within both lava-server and lava-dispatcher associated with the removal of the V1 components. The LAVA software team have been checking ahead for the final stage of the roadmap and plans are on track, as described. http:// and https:// changes in django ====================================== A reminder, if you are accessing an instance using http:// (whether localhost or not), then the changes described in the documentation **must** be applied for the instance to operate correctly. This is a security change in Django, not a change in LAVA. https://staging.validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/pipeline-debug.html#us… Symptoms include HTTP500 errors but can also include the inability to login to an instance using LDAP or local django accounts, depending on your local apache configuration. Changes in 2017.11 ================== Changes in the 2017.11 release are described below, including the short git commit hash. Use the git commit hash to go directly to that commit using a URL like https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-server.git/commit/?id=b19b9648a for lava-server or https://git.linaro.org/lava/lava-dispatcher.git/commit/?id=1451e3a4 for lava-dispatcher. Where the changelog message includes a story id like LAVA-552, that id can be added to the base URL: https://projects.linaro.org/browse/ to find out more about the change itself. e.g. https://projects.linaro.org/browse/LAVA-552 All LAVA stories are publicly available without requiring a login. 2017.11 also includes large changes to the packaging of both lava-server and lava-dispatcher. The prompts formerly used to configure a V1 remote worker have been removed. Packaging is maintained at https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-server and https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-dispatcher Packages for 2017.11 have been uploaded to Debian unstable and also the LAVA repositories (for jessie-backports and stretch-backports). lava-server =========== a799fc6c Fix links back to the main instance 5b9656b6 Fix broken plural in header b21f8c8f Fix crash in job_section_log c9526f01 Document the LOG_SIZE_LIMIT setting in settings.conf 63b57c94 Remove lava-mount-masterfs 75b403f4 Remove add_device script 8ddea823 Add description about the disc space requirement for pg_upgradecluster. 5c9dceb2 Remove TemporaryDevice imports 9b21ea48 Removed unused Worker functions 2accb4c3 Matching change to templates for directory change 1d384c4a Update docs regarding device-dictionary lava-server manage command. 32472fac Port 77fd10e2 to scheduler.devices.get_dictionary 114bbfa5 LAVA-1093 -

403: Forbidden - CSRF verification failed (2017.10-1)

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Hi everyone! I have recently upgraded our production server to 2017.10-1. Whenever anyone tries to login in the WEB UI, either the “403: Forbidden – CSRF verification failed” error is returned, or no error at all (for the latter, the default LAVA page is shown again, but with no login info). I also tried creating a new superuser from the CLI. That worked, but I can’t use it to logon via the WEB UI, so I guess this has nothing to do with the user accounts stored in LAVA. Is this triggered by a change in Django/LAVA? Kind regards, Dragoș

[lava v2] charts and redefining X attribute

by Jonathan Guyot

Hello everybody, I am working with both Jenkins and lava and I thought it was possible to change X attributes in charts to use Jenkins build number instead of a date. In my job, I defined a metadata like this : job_name: quad-ssh-host device_type: ssh *metadata: {jenkins-build: 725, job-context: nightly}* timeouts: job: minutes: 10 action: minutes: 3 connection: seconds: 20 visibility: public […] and I made a query that can select these jobs using job-context as a filter. Then, in the chart, I wanted to use the jenkins-build value to group job instead of a simple date, but the chart does not seem to be able to do that. I made many tries on the lava 2017.2 version. I wonder whether I am misusing lava charts or if it is an issue that need a fix. Thanks in advance for any reply. Jonathan

”502 Proxy Error” for large job log & details (in the WEB UI)

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Hello again! After managing to run a consistent series of tests on one of our boards, I came across a situation where the job log seems to be too big for LAVA to display. When clicking the ”Job details” button, the server eventually sends a ”502 Proxy Error” message. Is there a setting or a workaround to make LAVA serve the job log & details in ”chunks”? I did download the plain log (using, for example, http://LAVA_HOST/scheduler/job/JOB_ID/log_file/plain), and it is, indeed, huge (29 MB), but I was just curious if, maybe a ”log rotation”-like mechanism could be used in these situations (somehow). Thanks in advance! -- /Dragoş

Git error after upgrading to 2017.10-1: "fatal: index-pack failed"

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Hi! Just upgraded from 2017.6 to 2017.10-1. Tried re-running some jobs that worked fine just before the upgrade and noticed that git checkouts can no longer pe performed. The encountered error is: fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly\nfatal: early EOF\nfatal: index-pack failed\n Tried checking out manualy on the host, using the same repo. It works. How could I proceed investigating this? Could this be related to some lava user configuration that got reset (I don't know if git-related configs are associated with LAVA)? Thanks in advance (again)! P.S: I have attached the plain job log -- /Dragoş

LAB Notice: Planned maintenance

by Dave Pigott

[bcc’d to everyone to ensure we get full coverage. Please ignore if you have no interest in LAVA and the Lab] Hi all, Starting this week, we are finalising the transition of LAVA main production to LAVA V2. The main update and hopefully minor downtime, will commence at 09:00 UTC on Monday 6th November. Along with this we will also be upgrading all micro-instances to Debian Stretch and LAVA 2017.11. There will be a brief period on Monday morning, which should be less than an hour, when remote logins will be disabled as we upgrade the gateway server. Please note, that when validation.linaro.org <http://validation.linaro.org/> comes back online, LAVA V1 job submissions will be rejected, so if you have any bots which auto-submit V1 jobs, please work with us to transition them to V2. For future reference, for announcements about Lab availability, you should join the lava-users mailing list. Thanks Dave ---------------- Dave Pigott LAVA Lab Lead Linaro Ltd t: (+44) (0) 1223 400063

Very long output line seems to interfere with board output/job run

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Good morning everyone! While running some tests using our Linux distro and a SuperMicro Intel D1521 board, we encounter a situation where a very long line (shown as a "broken line" in LAVA's logs - in the WEB UI) seems to interfere with the job run, in a sense that the job eventually ends in a timeout. This does not happen when that particular set of tests is not run and I am wondering if this might be a LAVA issue. -------------------- A bit of context, first. SuperMicro boards "make sure" your board connection options are limited to using SoL (serial-over-lan), IPMI and a serial port (but in a very limited manner). One is not able to do a "typical" image load, since you may not specify hardware addresses or properly interact with the bootloader. This led to an approach which is best illustrated in the attached diagram. For short: LAVA instantiates an LXC container, from where we run a series of scripts to prepare the board (copy some images & files on an already available Linux instance, altering the Grub menu and then rebooting the board, making it start the image we wish to test) and then run remote commands via SSH. So, basically, the LXC container runs each and every command on the board, acting as the middleman. ------------------- Now, we have the following: * https://paste.debian.net/993516/ -> plain log excerpt that contains the very long line I was talking about (please see line no. 90) * https://paste.debian.net/993517/ -> job definition * https://paste.debian.net/993518/ -> test definition Is there a way to further investigate if this type of output is "giving LAVA a hard time"? Is there a setting that limits interpreted output, somehow? May it be that this is a LAVA issue? Kind regards! -- /Dragoş

"No such method: u'results.run_query'" when trying to access queries from a Python script

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Good morning everyone! I am trying to "play around" with user queries in LAVA2. After reading about them (https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/lava-queries-charts.html?highl… ), I downloaded the provided sample script (https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/examples/source/query-results.… ), made the required updates (user names, query name, hostname & the such) and gave it a try. The only thing I get stuck on is an XML-RPC lib error: "No such method: u'results.run_query'" (the whole traceback can be seen here: https://paste.debian.net/993833/ ) I have attached the modified script I am trying to run at the moment and a screenshot of the query settings. The API Help page is not reachable/present at the moment (nor on https://validation.linaro.org/static/api/help or on our own LAVA instance ), so I am unable to check whether or not the method's name has changed since the last doc update. What am I missing or doing wrong? Many thanks in advance! Have a great day! -- /Dragoş

PXE Booting and flashing device

by Rees, Kevron

I have a minnowboard turbot device that I want lava to boot, flash, reboot to flashed image, and then run tests. I would like to boot the device via PXE networking to an initramfs where I will flash an image to permanent storage. I can use efibootmgr within the initramfs image to set next-boot to the permanent storage device. Once booted from the permanent storage device, lava tests will run as per normal. It appears that many of the ipxe examples I have found simply run tests on the initramfs itself. Is it possible to flash the device once the initramfs has booted? It seems like it would be simple for lava-dispatcher to run wget http://someurl/foo.img | dd of=/dev/sda once the initramfs has reached login. However, I do not know if there is such a deploy mechanism. Does anything already exist within lava to help achieve this model? Is there a better way? Any feedback would be appreciated. -Kevron

Truncated commands & output in LAVA2

by Dragos Iorgulescu

Hi all! We have been working on integrating a cn8304-based board (uses uboot). We noticed some strange behavior that might be related to LAVA2. On average, 2 out of 3 job runs end up with errors/timeouts. We use the same job definition and device each and every time. Looking through LAVA logs, it seems that commands and some output gets truncated, thus malforming the commands being sent or the prompts that LAVA expects. The prompt we expect is "EBB8304> ", but sometimes it gets truncated to "304>". Also, a command gets mixed up somehow, and instead of "setenv loadinitrd 'tftpboot 0x60000000 358/tftp-deploy-VLCRzw/ramdisk/ramdisk.ext4.gz.uboot'", the board receives "EBB8304> setenv loadkernel 'tftpboot 0x40setenv loadinitrd 'tftpboot 0x60000000 358/tftp-deploy-VLCRzw/ramdisk/ramdisk.ext4.gz.uboot'" Details: * The job definition: https://paste.debian.net/993349/ * An excerpt from the LAVA2 job log/output, showing what gets mixed up: https://paste.debian.net/993350/ * The plain job log is attached to this e-mail Many thanks in advance! -- /Dragoş

lava-tool auth-add problem

by Michael Chen

Hi lava users, We're trying to use lava-tool to automate the job submit process, but having problem on using "lava-tool auth-add" command. The error message is ERROR: Username provided but no token found. I tried the instructions from the following page, but without luck. https://validation.linaro.org/static/docs/v2/lava-tool-issues.html I am pretty sure the user name, token, server url are correct since we tested it with the example python script from above page's second paragraph, and we can submit job through it. The version of lava-tool is 0.23-1 and lava-server is 2017.10-1+jessie. Does anyone have similar issue? Thank you. Michael Chen
