tools: tc-testing: Introduce plugin architecture This should be a general test architecture, and yet allow specific tests to be done. Introduce a plugin architecture. An individual test has 4 stages, setup/execute/verify/teardown. Each plugin gets a chance to run a function at each stage, plus one call before all the tests are called ("pre" suite) and one after all the tests are called ("post" suite). In addition, just before each command is executed, the plugin gets a chance to modify the command using the "adjust_command" hook. This makes the test suite quite flexible. Future patches will take some functionality out of the tdc.py script and place it in plugins. To use the plugins, place the implementation in the plugins directory and run tdc.py. It will notice the plugins and use them. Signed-off-by: Brenda J. Butler <bjb@mojatatu.com> Acked-by: Lucas Bates <lucasb@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

selftests/tc-testing: localize test resources As of today, the current tdc architecture creates one netns and uses it to run all tests. This assumption was embedded into the nsPlugin which carried over as how the tests were written. The tdc tests are by definition self contained and can, theoretically, run in parallel. Even though in the kernel they will serialize over the rtnl lock, we should expect a significant speedup of the total wall time for the entire test suite, which is hitting close to 1100 tests at this point. A first step to achieve this goal is to remove sharing of global resources like veth/dummy interfaces and the netns. In this patch we 'localize' these resources on a per test basis. Each test gets it's own netns, VETH/dummy interfaces. The resources are spawned in the pre_suite phase, where tdc will prepare all netns and interfaces for all tests. This is done in order to avoid concurrency issues with netns / interfaces spawning and commands using them. As tdc progresses, the resources are deleted after each test finishes executing. Tests that don't use the nsPlugin still run under the root namespace, but are now required to manage any external resources like interfaces. These cannot be parallelized as their definition doesn't allow it. On the other hand, when using the nsPlugin, tests don't need to create dummy/veth interfaces as these are handled already.

tc-testing: Allow tdc plugins to see test case data Instead of only passing the test case name and ID, pass the entire current test case down to the plugins. This change allows plugins to start accepting commands and directives from the test cases themselves, for greater flexibility in testing.

tc-testing: Allow test cases to be skipped By adding a check for an optional key/value pair to the test case data, individual test cases may be skipped to prevent tdc from aborting a test run due to setup or teardown failure. If a test case is skipped, it will still appear in the results output to allow for a consistent number of executed tests in each run. However, the test will be marked as skipped. This support for skipping extends to any plugins that may generate additional results for each executed test. Signed-off-by: Lucas Bates <lucasb@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
