Description OpenShift BugZilla Robot 2021-11-07 13:26:23 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2009660 +++

Description of problem:

Currently when running cyclictest we are not passing -m argument which is important to prevent memory from getting paged out.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
                "vcs-ref": "b46a47f7c4d3007b8150551c771cc8460fba9dfa",
                "vcs-type": "git",
                "vcs-url": "https://github.com/openshift-kni/cnf-features-deploy",


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
podman run --name cnf-container-tests  \
  --net=host  \
  -v /home/kni/cnf_tests_mcornea:/kubeconfig:Z  \
  -e KUBECONFIG=/kubeconfig/kubeconfig \
  -e IMAGE_REGISTRY=registry.kni-qe-0.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com:5000/ \
  -e CNF_TESTS_IMAGE=cnf-tests \
  -e LATENCY_TEST_RUN=true \
  -e LATENCY_TEST_RUNTIME=3600 \
  -e LATENCY_TEST_CPUS=16 \
  -e OSLAT_MAXIMUM_LATENCY=10 \
  -e CYCLICTEST_MAXIMUM_LATENCY=20 \
  -e HWLATDETECT_MAXIMUM_LATENCY=10 \
  -e ROLE_WORKER_CNF=master \
  -e PERF_TEST_PROFILE=openshift-node-performance-profile \
  -e DISCOVERY_MODE=true \
  quay.io/openshift-kni/cnf-tests \
  /usr/bin/test-run.sh  \
  -ginkgo.focus="\[performance\]\[config\]|\[performance\]\ Latency\ Test\ with\ the\ cyclictest" \
  --junit /junit -ginkgo.v


Actual results:

running the cyclictest command with arguments [-D 3600 -p 1 -t 16 -a 2-9,26-33 -h 30 -i 1000 --quiet]

Expected results:
-m argument passed to cyclictest command

Verification:

Version: 
ocp: 4.9.19
POA: 4.9.5 (image hash d791b343b5b16e94f4fdc0d0585e7843c1aa9d6e140526fda1911078baf6aec5, corresponds to performance-addon-operator-container-v4.9.5-3)
cnf-test image: cnf-tests-container-v4.9.5-5

Run podman focusing on latency tools:

podman run --net=host -v /home/kni/clusterconfigs/auth:/kubeconfig:Z -e KUBECONFIG=/kubeconfig/kubeconfig -e IMAGE_REGISTRY=registry-proxy.engineering.redhat.com/rh-osbs/ -e CNF_TESTS_IMAGE=openshift4-cnf-tests:v4.9.5-5  -e LATENCY_TEST_RUN=true -e LATENCY_TEST_RUNTIME=5 -e LATENCY_TEST_CPUS=2 -e OSLAT_MAXIMUM_LATENCY=3000 -e LATENCY_TEST_DELAY=65 -e CYCLICTEST_MAXIMUM_LATENCY=5200 -e HWLATDETECT_MAXIMUM_LATENCY=5300 -e ROLE_WORKER_CNF=worker-cnf -e PERF_TEST_PROFILE=performance -e DISCOVERY_MODE=true registry-proxy.engineering.redhat.com/rh-osbs/openshift4-cnf-tests:v4.9.5-5 /usr/bin/test-run.sh -ginkgo.focus="\[performance\]\ Latency\ Test" -ginkgo.v

According to the above output, --mlockall is now passed to the cyclictest to prevent memory allocation from paging out.
