[Bug 39413] New: Make it easier to monitor the TestBot activity

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39413 Bug ID: 39413 Summary: Make it easier to monitor the TestBot activity Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- At the bottom of the main page there is a list of the VMs and their status. However the information there is incomplete: * When a VM is reverting there is no way to know for how long it has been reverting. * When a VM is running a task there is no link to the corresponding task. * There is no history of events so if someone reports that something strange happened there is no way to check(*). So it would be nice to have something like BuildBot's Waterfall display. http://buildbot.buildbot.net/waterfall (*) Actually one could check the WineTestBot log but that has its own problems and requires poring over lots of traces.

[Bug 42070] New: Add "workaround" to defined keywords list to indicate that one or more workarounds are available for a bug.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42070 Bug ID: 42070 Summary: Add "workaround" to defined keywords list to indicate that one or more workarounds are available for a bug. Product: WineHQ Bugzilla Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: bugzilla-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: o.dierick(a)piezo-forte.be Distribution: --- Enhancement: Add "workaround" to the defined keyword list for open bugs, when one ore more working workarounds have been found. For Moderators: The conditions for the workaround keyword to be valid would be: - The workaround is documented in the comments or a reference is made to the AppDB entry where the workaround is documented (or to an external source). - The workaround is confirmed to be working at least for one person (not just an hypothetic workaround). - If multiple workarounds are discussed, the keyword is valid if one workaround meets the above conditions. Why the keyword?: Other users affected by a bug would know that a workaround exists without having to read all the comments to find out. If someone has documented a workaround in the AppDB for a specific application, and the bug is in fact affecting multiple applications, the keyword would reduce the need to document the workaround in the AppDB for every affected app, provided that the bug is properly referenced in the multiple AppDB entries. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 39441] New: The reverts keep getting slower
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org 04 Nov '18

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39441 Bug ID: 39441 Summary: The reverts keep getting slower Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com Distribution: --- A revert that would take under 10 seconds right after creating the snapshot would take over 7 minutes 6 months later. So every few months this would cause the TestBot to become really sluggish and barely able to keep up with the patch influx. Restarting libvirt, rebooting the host, restoring the VM from backup or even transferring it to another host had no effect on the revert time. While the revert is taking place the QEmu process fully occupies one core, no disk I/O is performed and the VM is not running. The exact reason is not yet known exactly but it seems to have to do with the VM's timer devices, particularly the rtc one. To confuse matters further not all VMs are affected: only Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008 and 10 suffer from this. The other post Windows Vista are immune. Yet the guest is not active while the revert is taking place so it should not have an impact on it. Finally at WineConf 2015 it was discovered that the revert time of a live snapshot is simply proportional to the snapshot's age. This yielded a first workaround which is to refresh the live snapshots regularly. Further investigation showed that the common point between the impacted live snapshots is that they all have the following clock settings <clock offset='localtime'> <timer name='rtc' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/> <timer name='hpet' present='no'/> </clock> while the unaffected VMs have <clock offset='localtime'/> But switching from the former to the latter does not fix the affected VMs. Still this lead to a better fix which has now been put in place: setting track='guest' on the rtc timer. Regardless, something is wrong with the way QEmu handles timers and live snapshots so a bug was reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1505041 Maybe this will shed some light on what's really happening and what the correct timer settings are. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 37104] New: Infinite revert loop
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org 04 Nov '18

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37104 Bug ID: 37104 Summary: Infinite revert loop Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com The current task scheduling algorithm can enter into an infinite revert loop while trying to prepare VMs for the next tasks. Assume the following settings: $MaxRevertingVMs = 2; $MaxRevertsWhileRunningVMs = 0; $MaxActiveVMs = 2; Then the following sequence can play out: | Steps VM | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 ----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+----- vm1 | rev | idl | off | off | rev | rev | rev | ... vm2 | rev | rev | rev | idl | off | off | rev | ... vm3 | off | off | rev | rev | rev | idl | off | ... The issue happens in steps 2, 4 and 6. The scheduler can shut down idle VMs to replace them with VMs that are more appropriate for the upcoming tasks. This is what happens in these steps: it decides the idle VM it just prepared is not what it wants after all, and thus shuts it down and prepares another one. The problem is it keeps changing its mind over and over and can never actually start a task because there is always a reverting VM and $MaxRevertsWhileRunningVMs = 0. Another prerequisite for this scenario to play out is probably to have multiple tasks have the exact same priority, so that their order is undefined. But regardless, the scheduler should probably not be shutting down an idle VM that has an actual 'pending' task. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
