[ANNOUNCE/CFP] Kernel Testing & Dependability Micro-conference at LPC Japan 2025

by Arisu Tachibana

Hello everyone, I am reaching out to announce that we are once again planning to gather to discuss testing and dependability related topics at the Kernel Testing & Dependability Micro-conference (a.k.a. Testing MC) at Linux Plumbers Conference Japan 2025. - https://lpc.events/event/19/sessions/228/ The Linux Plumbers 2025 Kernel Testing & Dependability track focuses on advancing the current state of testing of the Linux Kernel and its related infrastructure. The main purpose is to improve software quality and dependability for applications that require predictability and trust. We aim to create connections between folks working on similar projects, and help individual projects make progress. This track is intended to promote collaboration between all the communities and people interested in the Kernel testing & dependability. This will help move the conversation forward from where we left off at the LPC 2024 Kernel Testing & Dependability MC. We ask that any topic discussions focus on issues/problems they are facing and possible alternatives to resolving them. The Micro-conference is open to all topics related to testing on Linux, not necessarily in the kernel space. Suggested topics: - KernelCI: Maestro, kci-dev, kci-deploy, kci-gitlab, new dashboard, KCIDB-ng - Improve sanitizers: KFENCE, KCSAN, KASAN, UBSAN - Using Clang for better testing coverage: Now that the kernel fully supports building with Clang, how can all that work be leveraged into using Clang's features? - Consolidating toolchains: reference collection for increased reproducibility and quality control. - How to spread KUnit throughout the kernel? - Building and testing in-kernel Rust code. - Identify missing features that will provide assurance in safety critical systems. - Which test coverage infrastructures are most effective to provide evidence for kernel quality assurance? How should it be measured? - Explore ways to improve testing framework and tests in the kernel with a specific goal to increase traceability and code coverage. - Regression Testing for safety: Prioritize configurations and tests critical and important for quality and dependability. - Transitioning to test-driven kernel release cycles for mainline and stable: How to start relying on passing tests before releasing a new tag? - Explore how do SBOMs figure into dependability? - Kernel benchmarking and kernel performance evaluation. We invite you to submit proposals for discussions. Proposals can be submitted here, by 11:59PM UTC on Wednesday, September 10, 2025: - https://lpc.events/event/19/abstracts/ Please send any inquiries to the MC leads: Arisu Tachibana <arisu.tachibana(a)miraclelinux.com> Shuah Khan <shuah(a)kernel.org> Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> Guillaume Tucker <gtucker(a)gtucker.io> thank you, -- Arisu

[PATCH net] selftests: rtnetlink: try double sleep to give WQ a chance

by Jakub Kicinski

The rtnetlink test for preferred lifetime of an address is quite flaky. Problems started around the 6.16 merge window in May. The test fails with: FAIL: preferred_lft addresses remaining and unlike most of our flakes this one fails on the "normal" kernel builds, not the builds with kernel/configs/debug.config. I suspect the flakes may be related to power saving, since the expirations run from a "power efficient" workqueue. Adding a short sleep seems to decrease the flakes by 8x but they still happen. With this patch in place we get a flake every couple of weeks, not every couple of days. Better ideas welcome..

[RFC Patch 0/2] selftests/mm: assert rmap behave as expected

As David suggested, currently we don't have a high level test case to verify the behavior of rmap. This patch set introduce the verification on rmap by migration. Patch 1 is a preparation to move ksm related operation into vm_util. Patch 2 is the new test case.

[PATCH v2 0/4] signal handling support for nolibc

by Benjamin Berg

From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg(a)intel.com> Hi, This patchset adds signal handling to nolibc. Initially, I would like to use this for tests. But in the long run, the goal is to use nolibc for the UML kernel itself. In both cases, signal handling will be needed. v2 contains some bugfixes and has a better test coverage. Also addressed are various review comments.

[PATCH net-next v6 0/3] selftest: net: Add selftest for netpoll

by Breno Leitao

I am submitting a new selftest for the netpoll subsystem specifically targeting the case where the RX is polling in the TX path, which is a case that we don't have any test in the tree today. This is done when netpoll_poll_dev() called, and this test creates a scenario when that is probably. The test does the following: 1) Configuring a single RX/TX queue to increase contention on the interface. 2) Generating background traffic to saturate the network, mimicking real-world congestion. 3) Sending netconsole messages to trigger netpoll polling and monitor its behavior. 4) Using dynamic netconsole targets via configfs, with the ability to delete and recreate targets during the test. 5) Running bpftrace in parallel to verify that netpoll_poll_dev() is called when expected. If it is called, then the test passes, otherwise the test is marked as skipped. In order to achieve it, I stole Jakub's bpftrace helper from [1], and did some small changes that I found useful to use the helper. So, this patchset basically contains: 1) The code stolen from Jakub 2) Improvements on bpftrace() helper 3) The selftest itself Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250421222827.283737-22-kuba@kernel.org/ [1] --- Changes in v6: - Remove the network toggled (Jakub) - Set ringsize and queue size (Jakub) - Some other general improvements (Jakub) - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250709-netpoll_test-v5-0-b3737895affe@debian.org Changes in v5: - Rebased on top of net-next. - Calling bpftrace_stop using the defer helper. (Willem) - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250702-netpoll_test-v4-0-cec227e85639@debian.org Changes in v4: - Make the test XFail if it doesn't hit the function we are looking for - Toggle the interface while the traffic is flowing. - Bumped the number of messages from 10 to 40 per iterations. * This is hitting ~15 times per run on my vng test. - Decreased the time from 15 seconds to 10 seconds, given that if it didn't hit the function in 10 seconds, 5 seconds extra will not help. - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627-netpoll_test-v3-0-575bd200c8a9@debian.org Changes in v3: - Make pylint happy (Simon) - Remove the unnecessary patch in bpftrace to raise an exception when it fails.

Use kfree_skb_reason() and add SKB_DROP_REASON_DUALPI2_STEP_DROP drop reason (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) - Split sch_dualpi2.c into 3 patches (and overall 5 patches): Struct definition & parsing, Dump stats & configuration, Enqueue/Dequeue (Paolo Abeni <pabeni(a)redhat.com>) v9 (16-Mar-2025) - Fix mem_usage error in previous version - Add min_qlen_step to the dualpi2 attribute as the minimum queue length in number of packets in the L-queue to start step threshold marking. In previous versions, this value was fixed to 2, so the step threshold was applied to mark packets in the L queue only when the queue length of the L queue was greater than or equal to 2 packets. This will cause larger queuing delays for L4S traffic at low rates (<20Mbps). So we parameterize it and change the default value to 0.
