-
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
brought to you by Petr Vorel
-
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.

LTP 20240129
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.shThese 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

LTP 20220121
Since the last release 269 patches by 32 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.
NOTABLE CHANGES
-
New tests
- quotactl{08,09} tests for quota info hidden in filesystem.
- fanotify22 test for FAN_FS_ERROR events by intentionally corrupting a fs image
- memcontrol02 test for cgroup memory.current and memory.stat
- memcontrol01 test for cgroup subtree_control and memory controller
- write06 test if write() works correctly with O_APPEND fd
- statx08 statx test for the stx_attributes_mask
- fanotify{20,21} tests for FAN_REPORT_PIDFD
- irqbalance01 test that tries to assert that IRQ are spread between CPUs reasonably
- dup207 tests that file offset is correct for both original and dup()ed fds
- dup206 tests special case where oldfd == newfd
- ima_conditionals.sh test uid, gid, fowner, and fgroup options added
in kernel commit 40224c41661b ("ima: add gid support") from v5.16
-
Increased coverage
- quotactl* tests added support for quotactl_fd and hidden quota files
- quotaclt* tests also test with vfsv1 format
- statx01 added check for stx_mnt_id
- statx01 added check for nlink
- stat01 added check for nlink
- finit_module02 added ETXTBSY check
- epoll_create added two test variants (libc wrapper and raw syscall)
- creat09 runs on all filesystems now
- dup202 added check that file mode is same after it has been changed on dup()ed fd
-
The test library process, that watches over timeouts and carries on with the
test cleanup, now adjusts it's own OOM score so that it's more likely that it
outlives the child process that runs the test -
First half of the ltp-aiodio testcases was rewritten and cleaned up
- the rewritten tests are free of runtest file hacks that were problematic for years
- the second half should get fixed during the next development cycle
- the rewritten tests so far are:
- dio_truncate
- dio_read (previously ltp-diorh)
- dio_append
- dio_sparse
- aiodio_append
-
39 tests were rewritten to the new library
-
'make check' improvements
- added check if test.tags is properly NULL terminated
- added check if test global functions and variables are static
- fixed not to report tst_ prefixed static inline functions
-
The test library gained support for 'known-fail' tag
- to mark kernel bugs that are unfixed for a long time
- this is similar to the existing tags
- the first use of the interface are ustat() tests that are failing on Btrfs
ever since the introduction of the filesystem
-
The test library gained support for version check when a tool is required to
be installed on a system, e.g. .needs_cmds = {"mkfs.ext4 >= 1.43.0", NULL} will
skip the test unless the mkfs.ext4 is present and the version is at least 1.43.0 -
The test library added .supported_archs field to the test_test structure
which can be used to limit the test to a subset of CPU architectures -
The test library added .skip_in_compat flag to skip tests in compat (-m32) mode
-
The shell library gained support boolean expressions on kernel .config
variables -
New environment variable KCONFIG_SKIP_CHECK was added that allows users to
skip kernel config checks -
New environment variable LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE was added that can be
used to limit tests that run against all filesystem to a single one -
The new library testcases now print environment variables in help (-h)
-
The test metadata are parsed during the build and installed by default now,
which is another step towards making the test executor smarter.
- The usual amount of fixes and cleanups
WHAT IS IN THE QUEUE
In-flight patchse include:
- KVM test infrastructure that would allow us implement KVM regression tests
- watchqueue (pipe based kernel notification) testsuite
- futex_waitv tests
- CGroup testcases and fixes
- Test runtime API for the test library that would allow us to controll
testrun runtime explicitly and fix a few tests that run into timeouts
on older/slower hardware
Unfortunately the runltp-ng is still not included in LTP, we will try to work
on it during the next development cycle as well, but we can't promise it will
be rock stable to be included in the next release either.

amount of newly implemented functionality. Many thanks to all contributors!
And even more thanks to the reviewers!
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

- please make sure you run 'make check' or 'make check-testname' and fix the
warnings before submitting patches
-
Subset of our library tests i.e. tests for the test library is now executed
CI in github actions, this is ongoing effort to make sure that the test library
used by the testcases is working as expected -
The test library was fixed to print all messages to stderr
-
Testcases were fixed not to expect certain users and groups to be present on the system
- some tests were expecting bin, daemon and similar groups and users to exist on the system
- now LTP depends only on user 'nobody' and group 'nogroup'
-
New environment variable LTP_VIRT_OVERRIDE was added
- this is meant as a quick workaround for cases where the test library
cannot properly detect if system is virtualized or not - see https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/User-Guidelines
- this is meant as a quick workaround for cases where the test library
-
Fixed (again) timeouts in shell test library
- turns out you cannot make timeouts in shell race-free so the timeout logic
is now implemented in a small C helper binary
- turns out you cannot make timeouts in shell race-free so the timeout logic
-
Finally after the years we are slowly making tests limits-aware
- cgropup tests and a few others are now aware of pid limits imposed by the system
- next step would be doing rough estimates on the number of processes we can run
based on the free system memory
-
There is ongoing effort to fix LTP cgroup tests, this release includes many
small fixes and improvements in the cgroup tests -
The aarch64 system call table was fixed not to include 32bit only syscall numbers
-
The TST_EXP_*() macros were improved and a few bugs were fixed
-
The test library developer documentation and tutorials were reorganized and improved
- The more that the usual amount of fixes and cleanups
WHAT IS IN THE QUEUE
Next release will hopefully include runltp-ng which is new and improved LTP
testrunner. The current runltp script will be maintained alongside with the
new solution for some time but removed after a few releases.
You are more than welcome to try it and make sure that it works for you before
it becomes the official LTP testrunner.

- more tests are in the queue
-
Fixed timeouts in shell test library
- ensure that all child processes are killed on timeout as well
- runs a cleanup after timeout
-
The fuzzy sync library was fixed to yield() on single CPU systems
