Results from Linaro’s test farm. One regression detected on x86. We’re doing some re-runs to see if it’s a solid failure or intermittent. It is however a testcase which hasn’t failed in the past. Also as per usual the HiKey results are reported separate because the platform support isn’t in tree.
I thought I gave you enough \n in the past, did you use all of them up? :(
Anyway, what is the new x86 failure?
Is it this:
- ltp-syscalls-tests - skip: 164, fail: 4, pass: 957
It's readahead02 0 TINFO : creating test file of size: 67108864 readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(0) readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(1) readahead02 0 TINFO : max ra estimate: 262144 readahead02 0 TINFO : readahead calls made: 256 readahead02 1 TPASS : offset is still at 0 as expected readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(0) took: 951656 usec readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(1) took: 921704 usec readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(0) read: 67108864 bytes readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(1) read: 51257344 bytes readahead02 2 TPASS : readahead saved some I/O readahead02 0 TINFO : cache can hold at least: 86180 kB readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(0) used cache: 65308 kB readahead02 0 TINFO : read_testfile(1) used cache: 15332 kB readahead02 0 TWARN : readahead02.c:351: using less cache than expected
Source of the test: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/20170929/testcases/kernel/sys...
It's the first time this test failed since we started running it. I'll ask Naresh to look into it.
Please ignore this LTP readahead02 failure. Re-tested and it got pass.

You all need to really fix up your testing systems... :(
And for x86, you can just run it on your desktop as a sanity check, why not do that at the least?
