Hi, I found the CPU and Memory Hotplug (very important kernel features) test cases at http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/dev/hotplug/, which can be used under GPL. I thought of integrating the same inside LTP as these can be very valuable in your regular testing work. Presently i propose them to be integrated, but run independently, until some of you share your experience in using them and integrating them with default LTP run. I would like to know if it will be real beneficial to have these test cases inside LTP. The Patch proposes the way i want them to be in LTP. Regards-- Subrata |

Hi Subrata, As far as Kerlabs is concerned, we expect these tests to become beneficial in a near future. We are ok with your proposal. We would just like the memory hotplug tests to be a bit more documented, for instance as well documented as the first cpu hotplug tests in your patch.

No further development work is planned. Well, while the LTP community uses these tests they will be improved upon in the course of usage. But we are thankful to get the initial thing in Place. I have another irritating thing pending for you. Like the Linux kernel code, any contribution to LTP as well requires a DCO signoff. Since i imported these tests to LTP, as i thought that they are under GPL, i still require a Signed-off-by: clause from the Author/Copyright holder. You can do this just by replying to this mail with a Signed-off-by:Bryce Harrington <br...@ca...> clause. That will do the Job. Else, under IBM OSSC law, i will be made to remove this from LTP repository. I would be afraid that will really hurt the larger testing community. Kindly provide a DCO signoff in reply to this mail. Thanks for taking this trouble. Regards-- Subrata > > Bryce > > On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 11:49:09AM +0530, Subrata Modak wrote: > > Thanks Bryce for this contribution.

But since these test cases are obtained from a third source, documentation can be produced only when some of us has used them over time and has known it´s nature well. May be some of us will be able to do it in future after considerable hit-and-trial use. Meanwhile i will always be watching activities in these test cases mailing list. Any updates from their side will be immediately reflected in ltp. Please update results of their runs with us in the mailing list, we can also improve documentation in the run. Nice to know that it will be useful to you in future. I still have some problem in integrating them. Though the CPU hotplug tests are GPL-ed, the similar is not clear about the Memory hotplug tests. Some of them are defined under GPL, but all are not clearly. I need to contact them and see what can be done. Only after that i can integrate them to LTP. Thanks for your suggestion.

I was thinking of suggesting to the developers of these tests to improve their documentation. Of course, if they do not maintain these tests anymore, it's up to interested parties to do this documentation work...

Hi All, We plan to integrate and use the Memory Hotplug testcases inside LTP (http://ltp.sourceforge.net/). We found these test cases from http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/dev/hotplug/tests/. We now have few issues: 1) Are all the tests inside memtoy-0.3d.tar.gz released under GPL? as we do not see the GPL definition in all of those sources. Moreover there is no COPYING file at the top level which says that these test cases can be used under GPL. 2) There seems to be less documentation inside the same. Can anyone point us to proper place where we can find them. I tried to mail to some ids, got delivery failure. We are looking forward for some pointers.

I decided to merge this with LTP; available at: http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/kernel/hotplug/. I also added an additional COPYING file under the memory_hotplug for the GPLv2 issue. I hope all of you will use this and provide more comments/fixes for them. Some of you can also improve upon the documentation part on course of your usage.

Thanks Bryce for this contribution. May i also request you to kindly intimate us if you are making some improvements in those existing test cases, so that we can also import those changes in LTP ?

The test suite is considered complete, and the project funding the work has long since been ended. No further development work is planned.
