Good news everyone,

the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for September 2025 has been
released.

Since the last release 221 patches by 25 authors were merged.

Patch review is what most of the projects struggle with and LTP is no
different. If you can spare some effort helping with the patch review is more
than welcomed.

  ID for the current namespace
- listxattr04 regression test for 8b0ba61df5a1 ('fs/xattr.c: fix simple_xattr_list to always include security.* xattrs')
- ioctl_pidfd[01-06] tests for PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl() and PIDFD_INFO_EXIT flag
- mount08 regression test for d80b065bb172 ('proc: restrict overmounting of ephemeral entities')

- ioctl10 test for PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl()
- landlock02 test for landlock ABI v6
- landlock09 test for unix socket landlock sandboxing
- landlock10 test for signal sandboxing
- epoll_pwait06 regression test for d9ec73301099 ('fs/eventpoll: fix endless busy loop after timeout has expired')
- lsm_get_self_attr[01-03] tests for lst_get_self_attr() syscall
- lsm_list_modules[01-02] tests for lsm_list_modules() syscall
- lsm_set_self_attr01 test for lsm_set_self_attr() syscall
Increased coverage
- open13 now checks that more operations are failing with EBADF on O_PATH fd
  and also verifies that dup() preserves O_PATH flag
Rewritten and updated tests
- open posix aio_cancel_7-1 was rewritten to trigger the tested condition reliably
- mmap22 now uses mincore() to test MAP_DROPPABLE flag
- open posix pthread_rwlock_rdlock now use PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP
  on glibc to force POSIX mandated behavior
- ioctl_loop01 and ioctl09 tests now use loop device instead of the backing
  úfile for partitioning
- sched_football thread synchronization at the start was rewritten to make sure
  threads are started in the right order
Removed tests
- eject command test
- kdump testsuite which was unmaintained for nearly two decades
General smaller improvements
- LTP kernel modules can now be build separately with 'make modules'
- The new shell test library now support setup() and cleanup() functions
- The concept of min_runtime was added to the test library, now tests that run
  for longer time can define min_runtime in order to make sure that the test
  actually runs for a reasonable runtime when test runtime is scaled down.
  
  For details see:
  81ba405 ('tst_test: Add min_runtime to control lower bound of scaled runtime')
- Test library now properly translates MS_RDONLY flag for FUSE based mounts
- The test metadata parser now correctly handles designed initializers
  
  Details in:
  375286f ('metaparse: Map arrays with designated initializers to JSON objects')
- New LTP_QUIET environment variable was introduced, if set TINFO, TDEBUG and
  TCONF messages are suppresed. This can be combined with the previously
  introduced LTP_REPRODUCIBLE_OUTPUT to create shorter logs that are easier to
  compare between runs.
Kirk and ltx has been fixed and now works well together

This marks a milestone in new LTP test runner development as we are nearing
the vision we had for years. The ltx, which is minimalistic daemon that
communicates over byte oriented connection, can be started on the system
under test and kirk can connect to ltx from a machine that drives the testing
and run tests in parallel using ltx.

The documentation is sparse at the moment and kirk qemu SUT does not start
ltx automatically. However if you want to feel adventurous and try ltx in a
qemu virtual machine with communication over virtio with these steps:

Manually start qemu virtual machine on a host:
```
mkfifo ltx-io.in
mkfifo ltx-io.out
qemu- ... -chardev pipe,id=ltx-io,path=ltx-io -device virtserialport,chardev=ltx-io,name=ltx-io
```
Start ltx inside of the guest:
```
/opt/ltp/ltx -s /dev/virtio-ports/ltx-io
```
And on a host use kirk to talk to ltx via the virtio serial:
```
./kirk --run-suite syscalls --sut ltx:infile=ltx-io.in:outfile=ltx-io.out
```
Parallel run can be started by passing number of workers (-w N) to kirk.

Similarily you can run ltx and kirk over real serial null modem between two
machines.

Next step that is already in queue is separation of communication channel and
SUT definition in kirk. That will allow us to select different ways how kirk connects
to SUT e.g. qemu while the SUT module will handle the power e.g. reboot.
Hopefully that will happen in the next release and we will be finally removing the
old and deprecated runltp next year.
Testers guide to the Linux Test Project was added into documentation:

Documentation was written for test macros:
https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developers/api_c_tests.html#test-macros

Removed tests
- The test_controllers.sh is now disabled when v2 hierarchy is present
- A few old and broken tests were removed from test_controllers.sh
kirk was updated to version 2.1 see the release notes at:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/kirk/releases
New test catalogue generated from test metadata is live at:
https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/test_catalog.html
We have a new metadata extractor for a shell and first test that is parsed:
https://linux-test-project.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/test_catalog.html#vma05-sh
A few tests have been fixed not to be miscompiled by gcc-15
- we had problems with changes in structure zero initializations where
  suddenly anonymous unions were not zero initialized anymore
- and also with optimzer changes that now remove malloc() + free() pairs
  if the memmory is no touched between the calls
The tst_brk() behavior has finally been clarified and fixed, for details see
LTP commit a1f8270 ("lib/tst_test.c: Fix tst_brk() handling").
New library test now have reproducible output that leaves out data that
change between runs from the output, it's enabled with setting env variable
LTP_REPRODUCIBLE_OUTPUT=1
Our github CI is now connected to patchwork and runs LTP
compilation tests for patches:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/list/
The LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE now honors test specific filesystem skiplists and thus
can be used for general testing. There is new variable
TST_FORCE_SINGLE_FS_TYPE that ignores skiplists and is supposed to be used
for test development (which was previously the case for LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE).
The ipc runtest file that cointained only pipeio test was merged into
syscalls runtest file
The horrible mess in testcases/kernel/mem/lib/ library was untangled into
smaller pieces
43 testcases were converted to the new test library

The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN IMA TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

Add support to load predefined example IMA policy with LTP_IMA_LOAD_POLICY=1
environment variable.

This allows to run tests which are otherwise skipped due required policy not
being loaded. SUT should be rebooted after each IMA tests (unless
CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY=y` the policy can be written only once or policies
can influence each other).
Added additional ToMToU and open-writer violation tests (new in kernel v6.14)
IMA: Allow to disable LSM warnings and use it for IMA (avoid misleading warnings)

Add some example IMA policies

NOTABLE CHANGES

New tests
- madvise12 Tests that MADV_GUARD_INSTALL is causing SIGSEGV on access.
- fsplough A test that checks data integrity between reads and writes for a file.
- landlock08 Test for landlock bind()/connect().
- hugemmap34 Tests that kernel handles properly when stack grows into a
  hugepage segment.
- rt_sigqueueinfo02 Tests for rt_sigqueueinfo() errors.
- listmount04 Tests for listmout() errors.
- listmount03 Test for EPERM on inaccesible mount point.
- listmount02 Test for group mount IDs.
- listmount01 Test for LSMT_ROOT.
- statmount08 Test for EPERM on inaccesible mount point.
- statmount07 Tests for statmount() errors.
- statmount06 Test for STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE.
- statmount05 Test for STATMOUNT_VFS_ROOT and STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT.
- statmount04 Test for STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM.
- statmount03 Test for STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC.
- statmount02 Test for STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC.
- statmount01 Test for statmount() without any flags.
- ioctl_ficlone01 Basic test for FICLONE ioctl().
- ioctl_ficlone02 Test for EOPNOTSUPP for usupported FS.
- ioctl_ficlone03 Tests for FICLONE errors.
- ioctl_ficlonerange01 Basic test for FICLONERANGE ioctl().
- ioctl_ficlonerange02 Tests for FICLONERANGE errors.
Increased coverage
- getrandom05 Tests the getrandom() syscall along with the VDSO implementation.
- landlock02 Adds landlock network coverage.
The failure hits (possible missing kernel patches) are now disabled until the
test library finishes intialization. This is because if we fail to set up the
test environment we haven't had a chance to reproduce the bug.
The test library now supports per filesystem mkfs options, mount flags and
min_kver. This is immediatelly used by FICLONE and FICLONERANGE tests since
the support for different filesystems was added into different kernel versions.
Rewritten tests
- both pty01 and ptem01 test were cleaned up and split into several tests
- vma05.sh is a first test rewritten to the new shell test library
- process_madvise01 now runs in memory cgroup, where we can properly control
  memory pressure.
- fanotify10 Now drops cache three times to make sure inode is evicted, if
  the test stil fails in certain setups, please let us know.
Removed tests
- logrotate_tests.sh Since logrotate has it's own testsuite it's pointless to
  keep the broken LTP test.
Changes in test runtime and timeout handling
- the runtime and timeout values are now tracked separately
- runtime is now the time limit for a loop in the main test function
- timeout is now an safety upper limit for the test execution
- both values are per test iteration (e.g. for a single filesystem)
- the LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL now multiplies the safety limit
- the LTP_RUNTIME_MUL now multiplies for how long certain test will run
- selected (debug) kernel CONFIG_ options, if enabled now, multiply the
  test timeouts
- many testcases that run >= 1s on a slow reference hardware (RPi zero) were
  annotated with a proper timeout
- generally the timeout handling should just work fine (tm) without any
  user adjustenments
Couple of fixes were applied to the test metadata extractor
so the data in ltp.json file are now more useful
The syscall number fallback definitions are now automatically generated from
kernel sources.
20 testcases were converted to the new test library

The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

- shmat04 A regression test for fc0c8f9089c2
  ("mm, mmap: fix vma_merge() case 7 with vma_ops->close")
- aslr01 Tests that hugepages, that cause addesses to be aligned to higher
  order of 2, are not used for libraries when ASLR is enabled.
Increased coverage
- getsockname01 More negative testcases
- getsockopt01 More negative testcases
- bind01 More negative testcases
- swapon01 Runs on all supported filesystems now
- waitpid01 Tests all deadly signals now
- fanotify01 Tests setting two marks on different filesystems
Rewritten tests
- msgstress testcases were rewritten into a single msgstress01 test
  this should finally fix the test to scale well from small embedded boards
  towards big servers
- symlink01 has been split into several testcases, previously several different
  testcases were build from the source based on different messy ifdefs
UCLINUX support was completely removed from LTP

It was unmaintained and partially broken and nobody stepped up to maintain
the support.
Small runtest files cleanup
- runtest/io was merged into ltp-aiodio.part4
- runtest/cap_bounds and runtest/filecaps were merged into single runtest file
32 testcases were converted to the new test library

The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

New tests
- nfs09 Regression test for file truncation on NFS.
Increased coverage
- nfsstat01.sh: Add support for NFSv4*
Removed tests
- clockdiff01.sh Testing clockdiff is not relevant nowadays.
- telnet01.sh Testing telnet not make sense nowadays, remove it.
- xinetd_tests.sh Testing xinetd is not relevant nowadays.
- host01.sh The test does not work in all cases since testing host require
  proper DNS setup or internet connection. Rather than fixing this
  it makes sense to remove the test.

NOTABLE CHANGES

New tests
- splice07, accept03, readahead01:
  
  Tests that feeds the syscall all kinds of invalid file descriptors and
  checks that the syscall fails properly.
- proc_sched_rt01 a regression test for:
  
  c1fc6484e1fb ("sched/rt: sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice show default timeslice after reset")
  079be8fc6309 ("sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_us")
- ksm07 a test for KSM smart-scan.
- pathconf02 negative testcases for pathconf()
- pipe15 A regresson test for:
  
  46c4c9d1beb7 ("pipe: increase minimum default pipe size to 2 pages")
- nft02 A regression test for:
  
  515ad530795c ("netfilter: nf_tables: do not ignore genmask when looking up chain by id") aka CVE-2023-31248
- sched_setscheduler04 a test for SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK
- setsockopt10 A regression test for:
  2c02d41d71f9 ("net/ulp: prevent ULP without clone op from entering the LISTEN status") aka CVE-2023-0461
- gettid02 A basic gettid02 test.
- splice06 A test that splicing from a /proc files works.
Increased coverage
- ioctl02 cover more modern termios ioctls() as well.
- fanotify13 More test coverage for overlayfs.
- input* test now check UI_GET_NAME ioctl() too.
Removed tests
- fork12 Which was a naive fork bomb test, we do have other tests
  (setrlimit01.c, ...) that better cover this scenario.
- mongo test framework
  
  Which was test reiser, ext2 and jfs unmaintained for a decade.
- simple_tracer.c Tracing test from 2009 that does not compile anymore.
- runtest/fsx-linux This is consolidation of runtest files, since these test
  duplicated in ltp-aiodio.part3.
- testscripts/autofs{1,4}.sh, testscripts/sysfs.sh,
  testscripts/ltp-scsi_debug.sh, testscripts/ltpdmmapper.sh
  
  These were unmaintained and unused scripts.
- scsi/* A testsuite with a custom kernel module for kernel 2.5 that didn't
  compile cleanly for decades.
- load_stress_all_kernel_modules.sh Broken for quite some time.
The LTP library now has a functions to iterate over different
file descriptors. That allows us to easily implement more comprehensive tests
that feed various syscalls all possible file descriptors and check that the
syscall fails properly with invalid combinations. Most notable use of this
library is the newly introduced splice07.c test.
The minimal size of the device for a few filesystem tests was increased to
1GB because modern filesystems, most notably Btrfs does not work properly on
smaller devices.
LTP now tests bcachefs if kernel support and bcache.mkfs is present
30 testcases were converted to the new test library

The usual amount of fixes and cleanups

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

brought to you by Petr Vorel

The performance tests in net.features can be now skipped by setting
LTP_NET_FEATURES_IGNORE_PERFORMANCE_FAILURE=1 which is useful when testing is
executed on VMs on a overloaded host or if we are running tests with a
background load.

KIRK (previously RUNLTP-NG)

Kirk was updated to v1.2

This version brings the following updates:

show both stdout and stderr when executing tests on host
support for external commands on different SUTs
warning message when SUT doesn't support parallel execution
more stable epoll() communication with LTX
minor fixes
updated documentation

KIRK (previously RUNLTP-NG)

The new runltp-ng version is now called kirk
- The name was changed since kirk now supports different testsuites as well
- Apart from the name changes the internals were rewritten and cleaned up
- Prototype for parallel testruns is included as well
- https://github.com/linux-test-project/kirk/#readme
There is now experimental LTX support implemented
- Beware this is VERY EXPERIMENTAL at the moment
- LTX is tiny binary that runs on system under test
- LTX communicates with kirk over serial using messages packed in msgpack
- LTX is going to be locked in memory and executed with realtime priority
- LTX allows advanced features such as running tests in parallel
