Hey, The F11 Test Day for virtualization is next week (Thurs May 7).
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization
Please join us for the day on #fedora-qa (irc.freenode.net) to help with testing Fedora's virt tools, writing test cases, filing bugs and debugging issues.
On the day, you'll have the opportunity to work closely with other Fedora developers and contributors to make a real impact on the quality of Fedora's virtualization features.
Preferably, anyone planning on joining us for the test day will have a full updated rawhide host machine installed in advance.
The wiki page contains a first cut at listing test areas which we will cover on the day. Each test area will have a set of test cases. We plan to flesh out these test cases as part of the test day, but if people could dive in now and start writing some test cases, that would make a huge difference.
Chris Lalancette is leading the way here with test cases for Xen DomU testing:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization:XenDomU
See you on IRC next week!
Thanks, Mark.

Just a reminder to folks - today is test day! :-)
Cheers, Mark.

If folks would like to follow bugzilla activity today, add fedora-virt-maint@redhat.com to your bugzilla watchlist here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email
You can just remove it again when you're bored :-)
Cheers, Mark.
Hey, Okay, I think we made heaps of progress today. To give you an idea of what went on today, see below for the list of bugs that were filed during the test day.
You can also take a peak at the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization
for results from people's testing. I especially like the Guest Installs page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-05-07_Virtualization_Guest_Inst...
Thanks to everyone who got stuck in, but I thought it would be nice to credit the people who filed bugs ... so, from a quick query:
7 clalance 6 markmc 5 berrange 4 mtosatti 4 jlaska 3 paniraja_km 3 ondrejj 3 charles_rose 2 Rainer.Koenig 2 lili 2 apevec 2 mike.hinz 1 wwoods 1 tjb 1 ravishankar.srinivasan 1 paul.moore 1 esandeen 1 daire.byrne 1 aron
No doubt the testing will continue and there'll be a bunch more bugs in my inbox in the morning :-)
Thanks again, Mark.
Device assignment:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499614 System locks up when booting with "intel_iommu=on"
A report from Fujitsu that intel_iommu=on locks up one of their machines at boot. Likely a BIOS bug.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499637 IOMMU: no free domain ids
Looks like a DMAR domain ID leak in the kernel.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499261 KVM PCI device assignment fails with "assigned_dev_register_regions: Error: Couldn't mmap 0xffa40000!"
This turned out to be libvirt interpreting managed=yes incorrectly.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499678 libvirt should be able to reset a PCI function even if it causes other unused devices/functions to be reset
libvirt's PCI reset logic needs work. Not trivial.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499561 libvirt does not automatically re-attach an assigned device in the host after guest shutdown
Should be fixable.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499386 libvirt's qemu driver interprets the <hostdev> "managed" attribute incorrectly
libvirt was treating managed=yes as managed=no.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499708 SELinux blocks libvirtd sysfs writes for virNodeDeviceDettach()/Reattach()/Reset()
Fixed by latest selinux-policy.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499259 svirt denials breaks KVM PCI device assignment
Not trival to fix correctly.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499267 Assigning a PCI device using virt-manager/virt-install fails
virtinst's code to detach/reset the device before starting the guest was broken. Cole cooked up a patch to fix it.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/499352 Re-enable CONFIG_DMAR_DEFAULT_ON
Somewhere along the way, DMAR got disabled by default. Even though the original issue was fixed, it didn't get re-enabled.
