Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] xm-test results
Ewan,
We are looking into the xm-test failures.  

regarding 
>  FAIL: 01_enforce_dom0_cpus_basic_pos
>          /proc/cpuinfo says xend didn't enforce dom0_cpus (30 != 1)

We noticed that when this test resets dom0_cpus to 1 it takes a few seconds for 
/proc/cpuinfo to reduce from 32 processors to 1 processor.  So we put in a 
sleep of 10 seconds in the test script, right before it checks /proc/cpuinfo.  
Then the test succeeds.  We see the same failure with 16 processors, but not 8 
processors.  Should this test be patched to introduce a sleep statement for 
systems with 16 or more processors?

Thanks,

Sue Krysan

Will you be drilling down into these failures?  That would certainly be
appreciated.  The memset failures happen only on 64-bit platforms, and
no-one's had time to figure out whether this is a conversion issue somewhere
in the test or Xend or Xen itself.  The enforce_dom0_cpus failure is odd,
given that 30 is neither the number of physical CPUs, nor a power of two, nor
the number that was requested!  The multinic crash is certainly a real kernel
bug, and a backtrace or some debugging for that would be very useful too.

Thanks,

Ewan.
