Public bug reported: I'm requesting a Feature Freeze Exception for the latest stress-ng as it includes a few more kernel stress tests that are useful for kernel regression testing. As I am the upstream developer of stress-ng, this has been built on various architectures in Debian as well as tested on Ubuntu Xenial.
This is a leaf package in universe and should be a very low risk update. The 0.05.20 and 0.05.21 changes include: Add test-cap.c to Makefile dist rule debian: tests: don't run remap stressor stress-ng: add klog (syslog) stressor syscalls: add remap_file_pages Add page remapping stressor stress-pthread: Add get_robust_list call stress-sysinfo: exercise fstatfs() Move wcs options to correct postion in manual Add the sync-file stressor Add fp-error stressor syscalls.txt: update some missing syscalls and some re-ordering Add sys/capability.h and capget build time checks stress-get: add prlimit Update syscalls.txt with capget stressor Add capabilities stressor stress-getdent: fix build warnings on systems with no getdents syscalls Manual: update date Debian/changelog: fix spelling mistake stress-udp: fix two warnings on uninitialised addr stress-socket-fd: fix two scan-build warnings stress-getdent: init ret to -ENOSYS, fix scan-build warning Use the generic signal handler helpers helper: add generic signal handling/restoring helper functions stress-oom-pipe: use stress_get_file_limit stress-open: use stress_get_file_limit stress-dup: use stress_get_file_limit stress-socket-fd: use stress_get_file_limit helper: add stress_get_file_limit to get max open files allowed Add sockfd stressor Add getdent stressor stress-filename: use strncpy rather than strcpy stress-qsort: use calloc stress-cpu: zeta method should be counting in integers stress-mergesort: use calloc stress-heapsort: use calloc stress-bsearch: use calloc madvice: don't use MADV_FREE I have statically analysed the code using cppcheck and CoverityScan as well as building it with gcc 5, gcc 6 and clang with -Wall, -Wextra with no build warnings, so I am confident the code is in good shape. It passes all the adt regression tests on x86 i386 and amd64, arm64 and builds and runs fine on Debian kFreeBSD and GNU/HURD as well as *BSD. Again I am confident that it will build cleanly on a range of systems. ** Affects: stress-ng (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Colin Ian King (colin-king) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: stress-ng (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: stress-ng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: stress-ng (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Ian King (colin-king) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1560065 Title: [FFE]: stress-ng: sync to 0.05.21 form 0.05.19 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stress-ng/+bug/1560065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
