Well, it does support that now, in any case VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF
is not required for large packets: it's an optimization saving
guest memory, really. So no need to special-case.

Framework

Fix problem with serial_login() - probably we forgot to setup the guest in a way that we hook up a getty in the serial port.

Add a BLOCKED status on the autotest database, that tells the user that some feature testing was left out due to a problem on its dependencies.

Eventually get rid of all dependency on slirp/userspace networking to do any feature testing, since it is not a supported feature. Slipstreaming the kickstart in the install CD is a possibility, and it ends up being simpler than configuring an internal network thing for testing.

Make it possible to install virtio nw driver under windows xp/2003 guests without having to resort to the msi installer - assignee? Considerations: We would like to avoid slipstreaming the drivers in the iso cdrom, since we feel it is too messy. If after honest try we can't find another way, let's give slipstreaming a try.

Re-schedule the unittest job on the autotest server. DONE

Multi host migration - 1 week to recap the patch that was sent by QA, improve on it, have an updated patch by then - lmr

Deadline: 09/15 - Could not meet it, has to postpone New tentative deadline: 09/22

Libvirt integration - 1 week coordinating what it needs to be done, another 4 weeks (at least) implementing it - QA, lmr, mgoldish, help from libvirt developers

Deadline: 09/15 - Could not meet it, has to postpone New tentative deadline: 09/22

Include support for host kernel install on the KVM default control file - Using autotest standard API to get it done - lmr

Tentative deadline: 09/22

Enable "guest-load" for a VMs before/while tests are running (e.g. migration of a VM, while a movie is playing on it) [Michael]
Add a way to shutdown the VMs when the whole job completes (compared to doing nothing or shutting-down after every test) [Michael]
Random generated macaddress and ifname (BeiJing QE)

Client Side Test

Using dnsmasq in unattended_install to replace userspace network with private bridge [Amos] status: have implemented in internal tree
Bonding test [Amos]
If needed, write a netperf/iperf test [jasowang] [NEEDS MORE WORK]
pxe boot * net types [BeiJing QE]
Further migration [BeiJing QE]
Multiple nics [BeiJing QE]
multiple disks [BeiJing QE]
-vga stg, nographics
Verify SMBIOS/DMI data (UUID, for example) [Yolkfull]
Disk serial number (for IDE, SCSI, VirtIO drives) [Yolkfull]
Test block device cancellation path using device mapper to generate errors ( after we had a crash in de_write_dma_cb)
Extend pci_assignable to support other PCI devices (USB, video cards, TV card etc)
Different CPU flags support [BeiJing QE]
Use private bridge and dnsmasq to do the unattended installation [BeiJing QE]
Passthrough the perf keys of run_autotest to autotest server [BeiJing QE]

Server Side Tests

Run netperf test between two guests [Yolkfull]
Migration with/without workload(dbench,lmbench etc) [Yolkfull]
Register the virtual machine into autotest server and run benchmark through autotest server [BeiJing QE]

Misc

Add docstrings to all functions that still lack them, including the ones in stepmaker.py, stepeditor.py and kvm_tests.py [Michael]
Document the setupssh.iso and setuptelnet.iso creation procedures in the wiki
Rename all Windows ISOs currently used to their official MSDN names
Fill the sections "Working with step files" and "Step file creation tips" in the wiki [Michael]

Bugs

Please open bugs on the [autotest defect tracking system]
