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.

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

(L) 3n-icx: negative ipackets on TB38 AVF 4c l2patch

last update: 2023-04-19
work-to-fix:
rca:
test: TB38 AVF 4c e810cq, earlier l2patch nowadays eth-l2xcbase
frequency: always
testbed: 3n-icx (only TB38, never TB37)
example: [8]
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.
example: [9]
ticket: CSIT-1922

Not In Trending

(M) Combination of AVF and vhost drops all 9000B packets

last update: 2024-08-14
work-to-fix: medium
rca: Buffer alloc error is seen, not sure why that happens.
test: 9000B vhost
frequency: 100%
testbed: all
example: [10]
ticket: CSIT-1951
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]
ticket: CSIT-1950

work-to-fix: low
rca: Probably not enough huge pages.
test: ipsec policy large scale
frequency: 100%
testbed: 3n-snr
example: [13]
ticket: CSIT-1966
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) Memif crashes VPP in container with jumbo frames

last update: 2024-08-14
work-to-fix: hard (bug in VPP, no easy access to logs)
test: any memif with 9000B
testbed: all
examples: [15]
ticket: VPP-2091

(L) l3fwd error in 200Ge2P1Cx7Veat-Mlx5 test with 9000B

work-to-fix: medium
test: 9000B + Cx7 with DPDK DUT
testbed: 2n-icx
examples: [16]
ticket: CSIT-1924

(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.
test: 64B-avf-ethip4tcp-nat44ed-h262144-p63-s16515072-cps-ndrpdr 1c 2c 4c, 64B-avf-ethip4udp-nat44ed-h262144-p63-s16515072-cps-ndrpdr 1c 2c 4c
frequency: always
testbeds: 2n-skx, 2n-clx, 2n-icx
example: [17]
ticket: CSIT-1799

(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
frequency: always
testbed: 2n-skx, 2n-clx, 2n-icx
example: [18]
ticket: CSIT-1884

rca: Cause unclear a symptoms vary. Maybe memory corruption?
test: Udpquicscale
frequency: medium
testbed: 3n-icx
example: [20]
ticket: CSIT-1962
note: Not visible in trending as udpscale already suffers from CSIT-1935.

(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.
test: policy ipsec tests, large scale increases probability.
frequency: 15% and lower.
testbed: 3n-alt, also seen rarely on 3n-icx.
example: [21]
ticket: CSIT-1938

(M) 3nb-spr: Wireguardhw tests are likely to crash

work-to-fix: hard
rca: More investigation needed.
test: any wireguardhw
frequency: low
testbed: 3nb-spr
examples: [22]
ticket: CSIT-1964
note: Symptoms are similar to CSIT-1938 or CSIT-1886, but both of those are frequent in high scale, this is not.

(M) 3n-icx, 3n-snr: wireguard 100 and 1000 tunnels mlrsearch tests failing with 2c and 4c

ticket: CSIT-1886

(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
work-to-fix: medium
rca: AVF processes API commands asynchronously, not prepared to receive multiple messages at once.
test: ipsec policy, but any other test using async PAPI processing may be affected.
frequency: high on 3n-snr, less frequent on Xeon testbeds
testbed: all but with different frwequencies
example: [23]
ticket: VPP-2121
note: Only coverage jobs are running ipsec policy with AFT driver.

ticket: CSIT-1827

(M) all testbeds: mlrsearch fails to find NDR rate

last update: before 2023-06-22
work-to-fix: hard
rca: On 3n-tsh, the symptom is TRex reporting ierrors, only in one direction. Other testbeds may have a different symptom, but failures there are less frequent.
test: Crypto, Ip4, L2, Srv6, Vm Vhost (all packet sizes, all core configurations affected)
frequency: low
testbed: 3n-tsh, 3n-alt, 2n-clx

(L) 2n-zn2: Geneve sometimes loses one direction of traffic

last update: 2024-08-14
work-to-fix: hard
rca: More investigation needed to see the mechanism.
test: any geneve
frequency: <1%
testbed: 2n-zn2
example: [25]
ticket: CSIT-1960
note: Very rare, recently seen only as a failure in report iterative (not weekly trending) and in one run as MRR regression.

(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
test: any NAT test with AVF
frequency: low
testbed: any
example: [26]
ticket: CSIT-1947
note: More frequent in soak tests.

example: 2n-zn2, 2n-clx
ticket: CSIT-1795

(L) TRex may wrongly detect link bandwidth

last update: 2024-02-07

test: No obvious pattern due to low frequency
frequency: <0.4%
testbed: recently seen on 3n-tsh and 3nb-spr
example: [28]
ticket: CSIT-1941

Not In Trending

(L) Occasional failure on 1518B CX5: Trex failed to send message

last update: 2024-08-14
work-to-fix: hard
rca: More investigation needed.
test: Any 1518B on CX5, any driver.
frequency: low
testbed: 2n-clx
example: [29]
ticket: CSIT-1965
note: Only in coverage and 2n-clx has been decommissioned, but may appear if we move CX5 NICs to another testbed.

Past Failures

(H) 3na-spr, 2n-zn2: VPP fails to start in first test cases if dpdk/mlx5

last update: 2024-02-07
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.
frequency: 100%
testbed: 3na-spr, 2n-zn2
example: [30]
ticket: CSIT-1939

(H) 2n-icx: NFV density VPP does not start in container

rca:
test: all subsequent
frequency: medium
testbed: 2n-icx
example: 2n-icx mrr, 2n-icx ndrpdr
ticket: CSIT-1881
note: Once VPP breaks, all subsequent tests fail. Even all subsequent builds will be failing until Peter makes TB working again. Although it's failing with medium frequency when it happens it breaks all subsequent builds on the TB therefore [H] priority.

(M) 3n-icx, 3n-snr: 1518B IPsec packets not passing

last update: before 2023-01-31
work-to-fix: hard
rca:

last update: 2023-02-06
work-to-fix: hard
rca: issue in Intel FVL driver
test: multicore AVF
frequency: low
testbed: all testbeds
