[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/1] qtest: Generic PCI device test

[Markus Armbruster]

The test uses QMP introspection to find PCI devices, then tries to
cold-plug each of them.  Could be extended to hot-plug and unplug.

The tests' QMP introspection part is patterned after Andreas's
qom-test, which uses QMP to find machine types.

The following devices pass the test:

    i82801b11-bridge

Many of them are not currently tested at all.

This test does everything a number of existing tests currently do:

    ac97-test.c e1000-test.c es1370-test.c eepro100-test.c
    ne2000-test.c nvme-test.c pcnet-test.c rtl8139-test.c
    tpci200-test.c virtio-balloon-test.c virtio-rng-test.c
    vmxnet3-test.c

They are all marked "TODO: Replace with functional tests".  Options

* Delete them now, undelete when we add functional tests

* Keep them, blacklist the devices in pci-devs-test.c

* Live with the duplicated testing

Andreas, I guess you got an opinion here.

There's overlap with a few others:

    i82801b11-test.c usb-hcd-ehci-test.c usb-hcd-ohci-test.c
    usb-hcd-xhci-test.c virtio-blk-test.c virtio-net-test.c
    virtio-scsi-test.c virtio-serial-test.c

Options:

* Blacklist the devices in pci-devs-test.c

* Live with the duplicated testing

Andreas?

I manually blacklisted devices unavailable with -device, because QMP
introspection can't tell (pity).

I further blacklisted devices that require a suitable host device to
pass through:

    kvm-pci-assign     vhost-scsi-pci       xen-pci-passthrough
    vfio-pci

I blacklisted virtio-9p-pci and ivshmem for now, because they require
funky backends.

I blacklisted qxl and xen-platform, because they fail the test.

The test runs only for the x86 targets, just like all of
$(check-qtest-pci-y).  It could run on other targets, as long as we
can find a machine type with a PCI bus.
