From KVM
KVM-Autotest TODO list
raw idea
- more vhost_net test
- Add Multi-guests transfer test
- transfer test between guest(s) and extra boxs
- add more whql tests (virtio_net,virtio_blk)
general
Note: This session is for major, multi-person items. We'll update the status weekly based on the status of the subtasks attributed to persons.
- Libvirt integration - Will hold on this work item for the next couple of months due to resource constraints.

TODO
- Multi host migration - priority increased
- Research how to trigger jobs based on events rather than using the web interface setting recurrent jobs
- Set up a qemu-block job, with kwolf's qemu-block tree
- Set up a vhost job, with the upstream job (mst's trees for kernel and userspace)
- Add a BLOCKED status on the autotest database, that tells the user that some feature testing was left out due to a problem on its dependencies.
- Eventually get rid of all dependency on slirp/userspace networking to do any feature testing, since it is not a supported feature. Slipstreaming the kickstart in the install CD is a possibility, and it ends up being simpler than configuring an internal network thing for testing.
- Make it possible to install virtio nw driver under windows xp/2003 guests without having to resort to the msi installer
Done
- Send code to retrieve host kernels based on koji/brew tags upstream
- Resolved UUID mount point check problem
- QMP suite integrated upstream
- Wrote code to retrieve kernels based on koji/brew tags
mgoldish
- Make WHQL tests run on our internal server
- Enable "guest-load" for a VMs before/while tests are running (e.g. migration of a VM, while a movie is playing on it)
- This may just be a matter of moving useful code from tests to kvm_test_utils.py to make it reusable
- Post-commit review of new network patches (committed on Oct 7 2010)
- Use more exceptions in utility functions:
- Add convenience functions to kvm_subprocess.py to make running shell commands shorter
- Add convenience functions to the VM class
- Refactor _get_command_output() and friends in kvm_monitor.py and add cmd_raw(), cmd_obj() and cmd_qmp() as required by Luiz Capitulino's test suite
- Use select() instead of sleep() in kvm_monitor.py
- Simplify migration code if possible (in kvm_vm.py and kvm_test_utils.py)
- Fix VM.get_ifname() somehow (uses self.vnc_port -- bad)
akong
- Report problem with multiple NICs and MAC address tracking
- Using dnsmasq in unattended_install to replace userspace network with private bridge
- Bonding test
- Add a new test: check if guest transmits packets when link is up/down
yolkfull
- Run netperf test between two guests
- Migration with/without workload(dbench,lmbench etc)
- Verify SMBIOS/DMI data (UUID, for example)
- Disk serial number (for IDE, SCSI, VirtIO drives)
Beijing QE
- pxe boot * net types
- Further migration
- Multiple nics
- multiple disks
- Test block device cancellation path using device mapper to generate errors ( after we had a crash in de_write_dma_cb)
- Extend pci_assignable to support other PCI devices (USB, video cards, TV card etc)
- Different CPU flags support
- Passthrough the perf keys of run_autotest to autotest server
- Register the virtual machine into autotest server and run benchmark through autotest server
