similar to: [PATCH nbdkit] tests/tls: fix qemu-img check

Where qemu-img 4.0 used to say 'virtual size: 100M', the 4.1 release now says 'virtual size: 100 MiB'. Similarly, '5.0G' turned into '5 GiB'. Update expected test output to tolerate either version of qemu. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> --- I already know I want to send a v2; on IRC, Rich pointed out that 'qemu-img info --output=json'

Where qemu-img 4.0 used to say 'virtual size: 100M', the 4.1 release now says 'virtual size: 100 MiB'. Similarly, '5.0G' turned into '5 GiB'. But rather than worry about potential future changes to the human-readable output, we can just use --output=json (at which point we no longer even have to force qemu-img to the C locale). It might be slightly more robust to

v2: * Improved documentation. * Added a test (interop with qemu client).

We're still seeing sporadic failures of 'nbdkit nbd tls=', and I'm still trying to come up with a root cause fix (it may involve smarter use of gnutls_bye() in libnbd). In the meantime, here's what we know: when the hang/failure happens, the 'nbdkit nbd tls=' client process is stuck in a poll() waiting to see EOF from the server, while the 'nbdkit example1'

On Fedora 29, nbdkit-devel at 1.10.4 is too old for any of the tests/Makefile.am actions to run, but this also means we don't create any tls pki/ or keys.psk files that we then want to reuse during qemu testing, as evidenced by 'make check' failures such as: FAIL: interop-qemu-nbd-tls-certs ================================ qemu-nbd: Unable to access credentials

nbdkit (upstream 5a7a394c699) currently fails with qemu 2.12.0: $ ./nbdkit memory size=64M --run 'qemu-img convert $nbd /var/tmp/out' nbdkit: memory.2: error: invalid request: unknown command (7) ignored qemu-img: Protocol error: simple reply when structured reply chunk was expected This was a bug in qemu which was fixed upstream quite a long time ago by the commit I've

This is my second go at reworking the ‘test-ipv4.sh’ test. Instead of merely connecting to the server using socat, use ‘qemu-img info’ so that the test is slightly more realistic. Also clean up old PID and log files before starting the test. Previous version was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-January/msg00253.html Rich.

We've recently been hitting a transient hung rpm build when using make 4.3, due to a bug in test-nbd-tls-psk.sh. We're still trying to isolate the correct fix for that bug (it might be in the nbd plugin proper, but more likely is an issue in libnbd's tls handling of connection close), but in the meantime, this patch should at least cause a graceful fail rather than make hanging due to

The docs are a lot more useful with a graphic showing how to wire together nbdkit as a bridge from old-to-new. The converse, bridging new-to-old, is best deferred until I add support for the nbd plugin connecting to a TCP socket. It is also worth mentioning use of nbdkit filters (after all, qemu-nbd 4.0 was able to deprecate its --partition option by pointing to 'nbdkit --filter=partition nbd

This is ready for review but needs a bit more real-world testing before I'd be happy about it going upstream. It also needs tests. It does interoperate with qemu, at least in my limited tests. Rich.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-January/thread.html#00198 For v2 I changed most existing prerequisite tests to use the new mechanism. I only changed simple tests. There are a few more complex tests that don't fit the “requires model” and those are not changed. I normalized qemu-io/qemu-img testing to always use the --version flag, where previously we used a mix

Small reworking of tests to remove $QEMU_IO, making that consistent with other test tools, and to test IPv6 connections.

Fixes for various issues found while implementing my nbd forwarder plugin. I'm okay if you choose to take some but not others; the most important one is patch 3 which fixes a protocol violation that makes it impossible for a client to try and recover from EIO failures over a partially-flaky source block device. Eric Blake (3): maint: Add emacs hint file maint: Add NBDKIT_GDB support to

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-September/msg00057.html v2: - Fix tab vs spaces in configure.ac. - To generate list of plugins, use printf instead of xargs. - Use 'source ./functions.sh' instead of 'source functions'. - functions.sh: Consistent quoting in foreach_plugin function. - functions.sh: Change the contract of start_nbdkit so it

With these patches, a majority of tests pass. The notable things which are still broken: - Because FreeBSD links /home -> /usr/home, $(pwd) gives a different result from realpath(2). Therefore some tests which implicitly rely on (eg) a plugin which calls nbdkit_realpath internally and then checking that path against $(pwd) fail. - Shebangs (#!) don't seem to work the same way

Combine much common code into tests/functions.sh. Patch 1: Preparation for patch 3. Patch 2: Fix a long-standing bug in how man pages links are generated. Patch 3: Common code for iterating a test function over every plugin. Patch 4: Common code for starting nbdkit in a test and waiting for the PID file to appear. This is the largest and most complex of the patches but is
