Hi Sridhar and all,

I may be a few minutes late to our meeting today,
it all depends on how long my doctor's appointment
runs-over, but I'll join you as soon as I can.

FYI - I had an action to create a JIRA ticket for
TST009 review:
https://jira.opnfv.org/browse/VSPERF-552

see you soon,
Al

Subject: RE: [vsperf] Agenda for VSPERF weekly meeting - 13 Dec 2017 (ww49)

Hi All,

I won't be able to join today. During last weeks I was trying to fix our CI 
jobs, which was a bit more challenging than expected. There are two separate 
issues:


1)      VERIFY & MERGE jobs - there are issues with execution of VPP testcases 
at ericcson-build3 machine. Thus some time ago I changed configuration of 
VERIFY & MERGE jobs to be executed at ericsson-build4 machine. For some time it 
worked, but then VPP has failed and it is not working there at all. In order to 
be able to pass gerrit verification of new patches, I had to disable VPP tests 
- it means that if vppctl is not able to connect to running VPP, then VPP tests 
are skipped to avoid verification failure. As I'm not able to connect to this 
server I can't find the root cause. The easiest "solution" is to reboot that 
server. I've asked responsible admins for help some time ago, but I've not 
heard from them for some time now.

So I tried another approach, it means to allow execution of VERIFY & MERGE jobs 
at our intel-pod12. I've changed priorities, so Jenkins would firstly check if 
pod12 is idle with fallback to ericsson-build4 machine. Patch is available at 
gerrit and waiting for review from releng team:

https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/47581/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gerrit.opnfv.org_gerrit_-23_c_47581_&d=DwQFAg&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=OfsSu8kTIltVyD1oL72cBw&m=dni7PJlv6kNbMGrbHV3yFYFdyrZkUJs1iHQjXOx3a_s&s=8-VSlOsazD_vfx59RhB6NyWCuhccW0gWwo5E4NF7RHg&e=>

2)      DAILY job execution always failed after POD12 was moved to the new 
location; The reason was crash and reboot of node2 during execution of Ovs 
Vanilla testcases. It took me a while to find a root cause, which is actually a 
kernel crash during removal of "openvswitch.ko" kernel module. Originally I 
though, that it is caused by some resources allocated by OVS, which were not 
cleared properly after OVS shutdown. However it happens also in case, that OVS 
is not started at all. I was able to reproduce it on node2 (CentOS7.3) just by 
calling insmod and rmmod on openvswitch kernel module several times. Sometimes 
machine crashes after a few attempts, other time it takes more than 10 
iterations of insmod/rmmod. I tried 2 different 3.10.0-xxx kernel versions and 
two different OVS versions with the same output. It seems, that it is specific 
to RHT's patched 3.10 kernel. In case that the same OVS version is used with 
4.x kernel, then system is stable (I was able to run several dozens of 
insmod/rmmod iterations without any issue). Thus I've installed kernel-lt from 
elrepo.org to node2, to be able to run our daily job successfully.

With 4.4 kernel, I was able to execute both vswitchperf-daily-master and 
vswitchperf-daily-euphrates several times. Unfortunately it has failed again 
recently, but this time during execution of VPP TCs. One time VPP was not able 
to acquire one NIC. Second time boot of VM was very slow and compilation of 
testpmd took over 30s (it normally takes about 8s). Let's see if these 
incidents will happen more often or not.

Also some performance figures are varying. For example pvp_tput executed 
manually at node2 measures over 11 mil. FPS, but during daily job execution, it 
often measures about 7 or 8. This needs some further investigation to find the 
root cause.


Best Regards,
Martin
