| + | * last update: 2024-02-07 | ||
| + | * work-to-fix: hard | ||
| + | * rca: Mostly causing failure symptom of TRex complaining about link down. Probably also causes zero throughput in one direction in ASTF tests or even defice test failures. More frequent with more performant tests (L2) but seen affecting any test on occasion. | ||

CSIT Test Failure Clasification
All known CSIT failures grouped and listed in the following order:
- Always failing followed by sometimes failing.
- Always failing tests:
- Most common use cases followed by less common.
- Sometimes failing tests:
- Most frequently failing followed by less frequently failing.
- High frequency 50%-100%
- medium frequency 10%-50%
- low frequency 0%-10%.
- Within each sub-group: most common use cases followed by less common.
- Most frequently failing followed by less frequently failing.
CSIT Test Fixing Priorities
Test fixing work priorities defined as follows:
- (H)igh priority, most common use cases and most common test code.
- (M)edium priority, specific HW and pervasive test code issue.
- (L)ow priority, corner cases and external dependencies.
Current Failures
Deterministic Failures
In Trending
(H) 3n spr: Unusable performance of ipsec tests with SHA_256_128
- last update: 2024-08-14
- work-to-fix: low (if you are Damjan)
- rca: It seems compiler emits wrong instructions, VPP build system needs to be fixed.
- test: Three new ipsec tests that use SHA_256_128 as integrity algorithm.
- frequency: 50%
- testbed: 3na-spr, 3nb-spr
- example: [1]
- ticket: VPP-2118
- note: Other Xeon testbeds are also affected, but performance is not as bad to fail NDR. ARM is not affected at all.
(H) 3nb-spr hoststack: interface not up after first test
- last update: 2024-02-07
- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: After first test, HundredGigabitEthernetab/0/0 never goes up within the run. Not sure which part f test setup is missing, the tests do work correctly on other testbeds.
- test: All subsequent tests.
- frequency: 100%
- testbed: 3nb-apr
- example: [2]
- ticket: CSIT-1942
(H) Zero traffic reported in udpquic tests
- last update: 2024-02-07
- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: There are errors when closing sessions. The current CSIT logic happens to report this as a passing test with zero traffic, which is wrong.
- test: All tests udpquic tests
- frequency: 100%
- testbed: all running the tests
- example: [3]
- ticket: CSIT-1935
(M) DPDK 23.03 testpmd startup fails on some testbeds
- last update: 2023-11-06
- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: The DUT-DUT link sometimes does not go up. The same consequences as CSIT-1848 but affects more testbed+NIC combinations. Can be fixed by a different startup procedure (better detection before for restart).
- test: Testpmd (no vpp). Around half of tested+NIC combinations are affected.
- frequency: Low, ~1%, as in most testbeds the link does go up.
- testbed: multiple
- example: [4]
- ticket: CSIT-1904
(M) 2n-spr: zero traffic on cx7 rdma
- last update: 2023-06-22
- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: VPP reports "tx completion errors", more investigation ongoing.
- test: All tests on 2n-spr with 200Ge2P1Cx7Veat NIC and RDMA driver.
- frequency: always (since 2n-spr was set up)
- testbed: 2n-spr
- example: [5]
- ticket: CSIT-1906
- note: Also would affect 3n-alt with mlxc6 and rdma. Will probably be made invisible by removing rdma (except mlxc5) from jobspecs.
(M) 3n-icx 3nb-spr: Failed to enable GTPU offload RX
- last update: 2024-08-14
- work-to-fix: low
- rca: Retval is -1. More examination is needed to understand why.
- test: any gtpuhw
- frequency: 100%
- testbed: all
- example: [6]
- ticket: CSIT-1950
(M) Lossy trials in nat udp mlx5 tests
- last update: 2024-02-07
- work-to-fix: hard
- rca: VPP counters suggest the packet is lost somewhere between TG on in-side [1] and VPP [2].
- test: It is affecting only cx7 with mlx5 driver (not e810cq with avf driver), only udp tests (not tcp or other), and interestingly both ASTF (both cps and tput for nat44ed) and STL (det44) traffic profiles. It does not affect corresponding ASTF tests with ip4base routing.
- frequency: depends on scale, 100% on high scale tests.
- testbed: 2n-icx, 2n-spr.
- example: [7]
- ticket: CSIT-1929

- ticket: CSIT-1901
(L) 2n-tx2: af_xdp mrr failures
- last update: 2023-11-08
- work-to-fix:
- rca: Some workers see no traffic, "error af_xdp_device_input_refill_db: rx poll() failed: Bad address" in show hardware. More examination needed.
- test: ip4 and ip6, base and scale
- frequency: more than 80% on a subset of cases, 100% on (multicore) 2n-tx2
- testbed: 2n-tx2; to a lesser extent also 2n-clx and 2n-icx, where just decreased performance (and failure in ndrpdr) is more likely outcome.

- note: Sometimes VPP crashes, not sure if the cause is the same.
(M) 9000B tests with encap overhead and non-dpdk plugins see fragmented packets
- last update: 2024-08-14
- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: Some internal MTU is at 9000 (not 9200). More examination needed to see if the issue is in VPP or CSIT.
- test: 9000B testcases for loadbalance, geneva, vxlan or SRv6
- frequency: 100%
- testbed: all
- example: [11]

- note: Not even in coverage. Found when investigating VPP-2121.
(L) Some tests have too long ramp-up trials
- last update: 2024-08-14
- work-to-fix: low
- rca: Ramp-up trial should have high enough rate to fit into session timeout.
- test: NAT ASTF TPUT at large scale
- frequency: 100%
- testbed: all
- example: [14]
- ticket: CSIT-1961
- note: We removed largest scale from most jobs, only few stragglers remain on coverage.

(L) 2n-clx, 2n-icx: nat44ed cps 16M sessions scale fail
- last update: 2023-07-12
- work-to-fix: hard
- rca: Ramp-up trial takes more than 5 minutes so sessions are timing out.

(L) 2n-clx, 2n-icx: nat44det imix 1M sessions fails to create sessions
- last update: 2023-07-12
- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: One possible cause is CSIT not counting ramp-up rate properly for IMIX (if multiple packets belong to the same session).
- test: IMIX over 1M sessions bidir

- test: Udpquicscale
- frequency: medium

(M) 3n-alt: high scale ipsec policy tests may crash VPP
- last update: 2024-02-07
- work-to-fix: hard
- rca: Vpp is crashing without creating core.

(M) e810cq sometimes reporting link down
- last update: 2024-02-07
- work-to-fix: hard
- rca: Mostly causing failure symptom of TRex complaining about link down. Probably also causes zero throughput in one direction in ASTF tests or even defice test failures. More frequent with more performant tests (L2) but seen affecting any test on occasion.
- test: Any that uses Intel-E810CQ NIC.
- frequency: <20%
- testbed: all with the NIC.

(H) sw_interface_add_del_address: avf process node failed to reply in 5 seconds
- last update: 2024-08-14

- frequency: high on 3n-snr, less frequent on Xeon testbeds
- testbed: all but with different frwequencies

- last update: before 2023-06-22

(L) Rare VPP crash in nat avf tests
- last update: 2024-08-14
- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: clib_dlist_remove called by nat44_session_update_lru, but probably just a memory corruption symptom

- work-to-fix: medium
- rca: DUT1 fails to boot up in first test case. If DUT2 is present, it fails to start in second test case. Other test cases in the run are unaffected. This looks like an infra issue, ansible cleanup is doing something wrong, hard to tell what.
- test: First test case, unless it uses AVF driver.
