[Qemu-devel] [RFC 0/6] device-crash-test: device_add test mode

[Eduardo Habkost]

This series implements device_add testing on device-crash-test.
The new test mode will be enabled by default in addition to the
old test cases, but if only device_add testing is wanted, it can
be specified using the '-t' command-line option, e.g.:

  $ ./scripts/device-crash-test -t method=device_add

In comparison to the "-device" test cases, a full test run runs
reasonably quickly (17 seconds on my machine for testing all
hotpluggable devices on all 72 machine-types in
qemu-system-x86_64).  I believe it is a good candidate to be
eventually included on "make check".

TODO:
* Fix the QEMU crash found using '-t plug_all=1'
  (see patch 5/5 for details)
* Test non-x86 architectures
* Compare results with Thomas' HMP unit test
  ("tests: Add a device_add/del HMP test" patch").

Based-on: address@hidden
(Subject: [PATCH 0/4] qmp: query-device-type command)

Eduardo Habkost (6):
  device-crash-test: Make whitelist code a bit more flexible
  device-crash-test: Log detailed info on success too
  device-crash-test: Allow checkOneCase() to report multiple results
  device-crash-test: Exit immediately on fatal failures on quick mode
  device-crash-test: Basic device_add support
  device-crash-test: Multi-device device_add test
