juliank 10:52 AM If the infra is flaky, and now you put much more stress on it, it would become even worse. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical's Ubuntu QA, which is subscribed to Auto Package Testing. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058465 Title: Consider making the systemd restrictions of the autopkgtest@.service files more liberal Status in Auto Package Testing: New Bug description: Currently, our restrictions are as follows: RestartSec=5min Restart=on-failure StartLimitInterval=10m StartLimitBurst=3 Before this commit in November: commit 60233d12e61085637a51e48b2fe5bf45f0d21711 (origin/autopkgtest-worker-restart) Author: Tim Andersson <tim.anders...@canonical.com> Date: Tue Nov 28 14:13:43 2023 +0000 fix: cloud-worker: Amend restart limitations for autopkgtest@*.service We've been having issues with having to manually restart workers when they fail. This happens because they previously would hit stringent Restart restrictions (StartLimitBurst, StartLimitInterval). It's best for us if those restrictions aren't as stringent and allow the autopkgtest@ services to restart themselves more frequently. They were: RestartSec=5min Restart=on-failure StartLimitInterval=1h StartLimitBurst=3 I think we can get a bit more liberal with these restrictions. Maybe bringing down the RestartSec and increasing the StartLimitBurst. I think, in the occasion where we have flaky infra, where some tests are passing and some are failing, it'd help our throughput. And since there's no documented reason why the worker services ever had these restrictions, I think we can safely go ahead and do this.
