The currently existing 9pfs test cases are all solely using the 9pfs 'synth' fileystem driver, which is a very simple and purely simulated (in RAM only) filesystem. There are issues though where the 'synth' fs driver is not sufficient. For example the following two bugs need test cases running the 9pfs 'local' fs driver:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1336794 https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1877384 This patch set for that reason introduces 9pfs test cases using the 9pfs 'local' filesystem driver along to the already existing tests on 'synth'. It consists of 3 parts: 1. libqos patches 1 and 2 remove a limitation of the qtest/libqos subsystem: support for more than one device using the same (official) QEMU device name. 2. Patches 3 to 6 enhance debugging issues with the qtest framework. 3. Patches 7 to 11 actually introduce 9pfs 'local' test cases using the qtest framework. These 'local' tests are adding a test directory 'qtest-9p-local' inside the current working directory (using get_current_dir()), which is typically the build directory, before running the tests. That test directory is automatically recreated next time the test suite is run again, to ensure the 9pfs 'local' tests always run consistently on a clean test directory. The test directory is used by the 'local' driver as root of its export path. So it will add/read/write/delete real files and directories inside that test directory. v2->v3: * concat_path() is now just a wrapper for g_build_filename() (patch 8). * Dropped function strpr(), using g_strdup_printf() instead (patch 8, 9). * Fixed incorrect size for array allocation in split() function (patch 11). v1->v2: * The libqos debugging features are now turned on by command line argument '--verbose' instead of using environment variables (patches 4, 5, 6). * The new 9pfs 'local' tests no longer depend on patches 1 and 2 by no longer using a libqos multi-device approach, but rather modifying the final QEMU command line for each test instead; see discussion of v1 for reason (patches 7 to 11). * Use GCC_FMT_ATTR on helper function strpr() (patch 8). * Updated commit log comments.
