20250530

Good news everyone,

the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for May 2025 has been
released.

Since the last release 282 patches by 33 authors were merged.

Patch review is what most of the projects struggle with and LTP is no
different. If you can spare some effort helping with the patch review is more
than welcomed.

NOTABLE CHANGES

• New tests

  • kvm_vmx01 test for emulated VMREAD/VMWRITE instructions
  • kvm_vmx02 test for Intel VMX virtualized APIC

  • move_mount03 test for mount beneath top mount
  • fanotify24 test for FAN_PRE_ACCESS and FAN_DENY_ERRNO
  • unshare03 check for EMFILE when unsharing fd would hit the limits
  • fcntl40 test fcntl F_CREATED_QUERY
  • ioctl_fiemap01 functionality test for fiemap ioctl()
  • unshare04 tests that unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) unshares CWD
  • mmap22 test for new MAP_DROPPABLE flag

• Increased coverage

  • fanotify13 test case for FAN_DELETE_SELF
  • fanotify05 test reporting overflow event with FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR
  • fanotify21 test reporting event with RDWR fd on RO mount
  • fanotify21 test reporting fd open errors with FAN_REPORT_FD_ERROR
  • flock02 test for EWOULDBLOCK errno
  • fchownat03 more tests for invalid inputs
  • fanotify14 test invalid init flags with permission and pre-content events
  • fanotify03 test cases for permission events on children
  • pause01 tests now for more signals not just EINTR
  • setrlimit06 test resource limit64 for process

• Removed tests

  • The test_controllers.sh is now disabled when v2 hierarchy is present
  • A few old and broken tests were removed from test_controllers.sh

• kirk was updated to version 2.1 see the release notes at:
  https://github.com/linux-test-project/kirk/releases

• New test catalogue generated from test metadata is live at:
  https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/test_catalog.html

• We have a new metadata extractor for a shell and first test that is parsed:
  https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/test_catalog.html#vma05-sh

• A few tests have been fixed not to be miscompiled by gcc-15

  • we had problems with changes in structure zero initializations where
    suddenly anonymous unions were not zero initialized anymore
  • and also with optimzer changes that now remove malloc() + free() pairs
    if the memmory is no touched between the calls

• The tst_brk() behavior has finally been clarified and fixed, for details see
  LTP commit a1f8270 ("lib/tst_test.c: Fix tst_brk() handling").

• New library test now have reproducible output that leaves out data that
  change between runs from the output, it's enabled with setting env variable
  LTP_REPRODUCIBLE_OUTPUT=1

• Our github CI is now connected to patchwork and runs LTP
  compilation tests for patches:

  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/list/

• The LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE now honors test specific filesystem skiplists and thus
  can be used for general testing. There is new variable
  TST_FORCE_SINGLE_FS_TYPE that ignores skiplists and is supposed to be used
  for test development (which was previously the case for LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE).

• The ipc runtest file that cointained only pipeio test was merged into
  syscalls runtest file

• The horrible mess in testcases/kernel/mem/lib/ library was untangled into
  smaller pieces

• 43 testcases were converted to the new test library

• The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN IMA TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

• Add support to load predefined example IMA policy with LTP_IMA_LOAD_POLICY=1
  environment variable.

  This allows to run tests which are otherwise skipped due required policy not
  being loaded. SUT should be rebooted after each IMA tests (unless
  CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY=y` the policy can be written only once or policies
  can influence each other).

• Added additional ToMToU and open-writer violation tests (new in kernel v6.14)

• IMA: Allow to disable LSM warnings and use it for IMA (avoid misleading warnings)

• Add some example IMA policies

LTP 20250130

NOTABLE CHANGES

• New tests

  • madvise12 Tests that MADV_GUARD_INSTALL is causing SIGSEGV on access.
  • fsplough A test that checks data integrity between reads and writes for a file.
  • landlock08 Test for landlock bind()/connect().
  • hugemmap34 Tests that kernel handles properly when stack grows into a
    hugepage segment.
  • rt_sigqueueinfo02 Tests for rt_sigqueueinfo() errors.
  • listmount04 Tests for listmout() errors.
  • listmount03 Test for EPERM on inaccesible mount point.
  • listmount02 Test for group mount IDs.
  • listmount01 Test for LSMT_ROOT.
  • statmount08 Test for EPERM on inaccesible mount point.
  • statmount07 Tests for statmount() errors.
  • statmount06 Test for STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE.
  • statmount05 Test for STATMOUNT_VFS_ROOT and STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT.
  • statmount04 Test for STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM.
  • statmount03 Test for STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC.
  • statmount02 Test for STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC.
  • statmount01 Test for statmount() without any flags.
  • ioctl_ficlone01 Basic test for FICLONE ioctl().
  • ioctl_ficlone02 Test for EOPNOTSUPP for usupported FS.
  • ioctl_ficlone03 Tests for FICLONE errors.
  • ioctl_ficlonerange01 Basic test for FICLONERANGE ioctl().
  • ioctl_ficlonerange02 Tests for FICLONERANGE errors.

• Increased coverage

  • getrandom05 Tests the getrandom() syscall along with the VDSO implementation.
  • landlock02 Adds landlock network coverage.

• The failure hits (possible missing kernel patches) are now disabled until the
  test library finishes intialization. This is because if we fail to set up the
  test environment we haven't had a chance to reproduce the bug.

• The test library now supports per filesystem mkfs options, mount flags and
  min_kver. This is immediatelly used by FICLONE and FICLONERANGE tests since
  the support for different filesystems was added into different kernel versions.

• Rewritten tests

  • both pty01 and ptem01 test were cleaned up and split into several tests
  • vma05.sh is a first test rewritten to the new shell test library
  • process_madvise01 now runs in memory cgroup, where we can properly control
    memory pressure.
  • fanotify10 Now drops cache three times to make sure inode is evicted, if
    the test stil fails in certain setups, please let us know.

• Removed tests

  • logrotate_tests.sh Since logrotate has it's own testsuite it's pointless to
    keep the broken LTP test.

• Changes in test runtime and timeout handling

  • the runtime and timeout values are now tracked separately
  • runtime is now the time limit for a loop in the main test function
  • timeout is now an safety upper limit for the test execution
  • both values are per test iteration (e.g. for a single filesystem)
  • the LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL now multiplies the safety limit
  • the LTP_RUNTIME_MUL now multiplies for how long certain test will run
  • selected (debug) kernel CONFIG_ options, if enabled now, multiply the
    test timeouts
  • many testcases that run >= 1s on a slow reference hardware (RPi zero) were
    annotated with a proper timeout
  • generally the timeout handling should just work fine (tm) without any
    user adjustenments

• Couple of fixes were applied to the test metadata extractor
  so the data in ltp.json file are now more useful

• The syscall number fallback definitions are now automatically generated from
  kernel sources.

• 20 testcases were converted to the new test library

• The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

• New nfs10.sh test data integrity over NFS (uses fsplough)
• Removed old ftp01.sh

  • aslr01 Tests that hugepages, that cause addesses to be aligned to higher
    order of 2, are not used for libraries when ASLR is enabled.

• Increased coverage

  • getsockname01 More negative testcases
  • getsockopt01 More negative testcases
  • bind01 More negative testcases
  • swapon01 Runs on all supported filesystems now
  • waitpid01 Tests all deadly signals now
  • fanotify01 Tests setting two marks on different filesystems

• Rewritten tests

  • msgstress testcases were rewritten into a single msgstress01 test
    this should finally fix the test to scale well from small embedded boards
    towards big servers

  • symlink01 has been split into several testcases, previously several different
    testcases were build from the source based on different messy ifdefs

• UCLINUX support was completely removed from LTP

  It was unmaintained and partially broken and nobody stepped up to maintain
  the support.

• Small runtest files cleanup

  • runtest/io was merged into ltp-aiodio.part4
  • runtest/cap_bounds and runtest/filecaps were merged into single runtest file

• 32 testcases were converted to the new test library

• The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

• New tests

  • nfs09 Regression test for file truncation on NFS.

• Increased coverage

  • nfsstat01.sh: Add support for NFSv4*

• Removed tests

  • clockdiff01.sh Testing clockdiff is not relevant nowadays.
  • telnet01.sh Testing telnet not make sense nowadays, remove it.
  • xinetd_tests.sh Testing xinetd is not relevant nowadays.
  • host01.sh The test does not work in all cases since testing host require
    proper DNS setup or internet connection. Rather than fixing this
    it makes sense to remove the test.

We have finally started working on a comprehensive documentation for LTP and
it's test library, the current state can be seen at:

  • sched_setscheduler04 a test for SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK

  • setsockopt10 A regression test for:
    2c02d41d71f9 ("net/ulp: prevent ULP without clone op from entering the LISTEN status") aka CVE-2023-0461

  • gettid02 A basic gettid02 test.

  • splice06 A test that splicing from a /proc files works.

• Increased coverage

  • ioctl02 cover more modern termios ioctls() as well.

  • fanotify13 More test coverage for overlayfs.

  • input* test now check UI_GET_NAME ioctl() too.

• Removed tests

  • fork12 Which was a naive fork bomb test, we do have other tests
    (setrlimit01.c, ...) that better cover this scenario.

  • mongo test framework

    Which was test reiser, ext2 and jfs unmaintained for a decade.

  • simple_tracer.c Tracing test from 2009 that does not compile anymore.

  • runtest/fsx-linux This is consolidation of runtest files, since these test
    duplicated in ltp-aiodio.part3.

  • testscripts/autofs{1,4}.sh, testscripts/sysfs.sh,
    testscripts/ltp-scsi_debug.sh, testscripts/ltpdmmapper.sh

    These were unmaintained and unused scripts.

  • scsi/* A testsuite with a custom kernel module for kernel 2.5 that didn't
    compile cleanly for decades.

  • load_stress_all_kernel_modules.sh Broken for quite some time.

• The LTP library now has a functions to iterate over different
  file descriptors. That allows us to easily implement more comprehensive tests
  that feed various syscalls all possible file descriptors and check that the
  syscall fails properly with invalid combinations. Most notable use of this
  library is the newly introduced splice07.c test.

• The minimal size of the device for a few filesystem tests was increased to
  1GB because modern filesystems, most notably Btrfs does not work properly on
  smaller devices.

• LTP now tests bcachefs if kernel support and bcache.mkfs is present

• 30 testcases were converted to the new test library

• The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

The performance tests in net.features can be now skipped by setting
LTP_NET_FEATURES_IGNORE_PERFORMANCE_FAILURE=1 which is useful when testing is
executed on VMs on a overloaded host or if we are running tests with a
background load.

KIRK (previously RUNLTP-NG)

Kirk was updated to v1.2

This version brings the following updates:

• show both stdout and stderr when executing tests on host
• support for external commands on different SUTs
• warning message when SUT doesn't support parallel execution
• more stable epoll() communication with LTX
• minor fixes
• updated documentation
