I don't foresee problems, should do it on friday or over weekend. 13:09:20 perfect 13:09:44 anything else on this? 13:09:55 5 13:09:57 4 13:09:59 3 13:10:00 2 13:10:02 1 13:10:03 #topic Kernel testing 13:10:05 o/ 13:10:26 about release we have a way to mask problematic cip kernel ? 13:11:20 Does that have anything to do with "currently upstream is releasing 5.4.298" announcement? :-) 13:11:32 in the case that the kernel have build issues or similar 13:11:45 just asking 13:12:18 Not really, it may depend on severity. 13:12:37 I see, thanks 13:14:20 maybe could be useful to have something to indicate that a version have serious problems 13:14:20 On the testing side of things, we've got some really high load on the LAVA server which is causing some issues 13:15:03 I talked with collabora about the issues and they are willing to share some filtering script 13:15:17 problem is that we don't have root access to lava-cip servers 13:15:44 indeed 13:16:03 :( 13:16:20 another solution could be to ask LF to set cloudfare 13:16:30 they already using it for kernel.org 13:16:58 probably is the fastest solution as LF have already experience with that 13:17:08 Yea 13:17:20 qq 13:17:28 I'll keep trying to narrow down the issue and talk to LF in tandem 13:17:32 also broonie is using it for his lava server 13:17:57 qq <- writing on the wrong keyboard lol 13:19:24 patersonc: no one reacted on your lava load issue yet, right? 13:19:45 Nope. ALthough Cybertrust lab admin said it wasn't them 13:19:55 patersonc: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/-/pipelines/2021753921 I'm having more problems than usual with testing. Is that related / likely to get better on its own? 13:20:13 we cannot identify the source?? 13:20:29 do all workers share the same token? 13:20:31 collabora said is a know issue, there are some bots that are causing problems with lava 13:20:50 AI crawlers again, nothing authenticated? 13:21:15 It could just be web traffic, rather than api 13:21:43 can we close the web interface without affecting the API? 13:21:52 without server access we can only suppose 13:21:53 at least temporarily 13:22:35 oh, that was the missing root access?! 13:22:46 who has then, LF admins? 13:22:48 yes 13:22:59 -> LF ticket? 13:23:15 I've already got a discussion open with our usual LF IT contactr 13:23:21 ok 13:23:24 patersonc, thanks ! 13:24:48 guess we have to wait and see then... 13:25:02 other testing topics? 13:25:16 For now, kernel testing may take a hit. There are still some labs offline since I rebooted the LAVA master 13:25:48 Ok. I'll hit retry few more times ;). 13:25:48 I'm starting to add nfsrootfs build and x86 platforms 13:26:36 only one is offline right now, iwamatsu's 13:27:16 but several in "maintenance" state - is that what you mean? 13:27:31 Yea 13:27:38 maybe other lab does not reconnect yet. 13:27:41 I put them all into maintenance until the lab owners reboot the labs 13:28:07 LAVA doesn't like it when the server reboots. The labs don't automatically start working again - they want a reboot too 13:28:36 did you inform all lab owners already? 13:28:45 Yes 13:29:04 patersonc, beaglebone could boot with nfsrootfs https://lava.ciplatform.org/scheduler/job/1305458 13:29:32 but we have still problems with r8a7743-iwg20d-q7 https://lava.ciplatform.org/scheduler/job/1305459 13:29:46 Thanks arisut 13:30:18 maybe we could add some boot commands? 13:30:56 I see there is a extra_kernel_args: lsm=capability,landlock,yama,loadpin,safesetid,selinux,bpf on some nfs machine 13:31:23 I've never set those for the iwg20d boards before 13:31:31 on the collabora boards 13:31:40 maybe we need something similar 13:31:56 I will investigate difference on the build 13:32:02 Thanks 13:32:25 np 13:32:37 it can not boot with zImage 13:33:23 We need to work out why zimage isn't working 13:33:32 iwg20d need to use uImage with default bootloader 13:33:59 Arisut is there a way to get uimage out of kernelci? 13:34:01 meybe it depends on address of boot imge. 13:34:26 patersonc, I doubt :/ will check 13:35:12 Thanks 13:35:37 it cannot work with zimage or maybe it could work but is not tested ? 13:36:33 Maybe we just need to check the uboot command 13:36:39 ok 13:37:21 I will check about using uimage 13:37:44 looks like we have a make target for uimage 13:37:54 I think the bootloader didn't support zImage... 13:38:18 I hope that is still working on pipeline but looks like is not used anymore 13:38:58 I will check how to make it throw uimage 13:39:05 thanks 13:39:14 Thanks 13:39:21 patersonc: it's likely hopeless to wait for a denx lab reboot - just set it to active again and pray ;) 13:39:43 yea 13:40:01 Quirin set both our labs to active as well - works without rebooting 13:40:16 maybe that issue was with older lava 13:40:16 jki: I can try to ask for reboot -- should I? 13:40:38 pavel: only if we see issues, I would say 13:40:41 jki: The issue is that the LAVA_DISPATCHER_IP variable doesn't get set. So NFS jobs will fail 13:40:43 jki: ok. 13:43:37 patersonc: does not seem to be the case for our labs 13:46:03 okay 13:46:07 I'll keep an eye on it 13:46:30 yeah, just ping us 13:47:13 more testing topics? 13:47:32 5 13:47:34 4 13:47:36 3 13:47:38 2 13:47:40 1 13:47:42 #topic AOB 13:48:48 I will be absent next week 13:49:17 Same here 13:50:41 ok 13:50:52 anything else for today? 13:51:09 5 13:51:11 4 13:51:13 3 13:51:14 2 13:51:16 1 13:51:19 #endmeeting
