The system test framework starts all named instances with the "-d 99"
command line option (unless it is overridden by a named.args file in a
given instance's working directory). This causes a lot of log messages
to be written to named.run files - currently over 5 million lines for a
single test suite run. While debugging information preserved in the log
files is essential for troubleshooting intermittent test failures, some
system tests involve sending hundreds or even thousands of queries,
which causes the relevant log files to explode in size. When multiple
tests (or even multiple test suites) are run in parallel, excessive
logging contributes considerably to the I/O load on the test host,
increasing the odds of intermittent test failures getting triggered.
Decrease the debug level for the seven most verbose named instances:
- use "-d 3" for ns2 in the "cacheclean" system test (it is the lowest
logging level at which the test still passes without the need to
apply any changes to tests.sh),
- use "-d 1" for the other six named instances.
This roughly halves the number of lines logged by each test suite run
while still leaving enough information in the logs to allow at least
basic troubleshooting in case of test failures.
This approach was chosen as it results in a greater decrease in the
number of lines logged than running all named instances with "-d 3",
without causing any test failures.
(cherry picked from commit 4a8d404876)
this changes most visble uses of master/slave terminology in tests.sh
and most uses of 'type master' or 'type slave' in named.conf files.
files in the checkconf test were not updated in order to confirm that
the old syntax still works. rpzrecurse was also left mostly unchanged
to avoid interference with DNSRPS.
(cherry picked from commit e43b3c1fa1)
- all tests with "recursion yes" now also specify "dnssec-validation yes",
and all tests with "recursion no" also specify "dnssec-validation no".
this must be maintained in all new tests, or else validation will fail
when we use local root zones for testing.
- clean.sh has been modified where necessary to remove managed-keys.bind
and viewname.mkeys files.
- add CHANGES note
- update copyrights and license headers
- add -j to the make commands in .gitlab-ci.yml to take
advantage of parallelization in the gitlab CI process
in draft-andrews-dnsext-expire-00. Retrivial of
remaining time to expiry from slave zones is supported.
EXPIRE uses an experimental option code (65002) and
is subject to change. [RT #35416]
