From c1717624b310cfffa5eb09286874520ad3577a0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Daniel A. Wozniak" Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 00:36:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/17] Disable coverage dynamic_context while Salt is on Python 3.14 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ``dynamic_context = test_function`` forces coverage.py off the sys.monitoring (sysmon) measurement core — sysmon does not yet implement dynamic contexts. On Python 3.14 sysmon is the default and is dramatically faster than the PyTracer / CTracer fallbacks. With the coverage pin we currently carry (7.3.1), no CTracer wheel ships for 3.14 either, so dynamic_context drops the test suite all the way down to the pure-Python PyTracer. That combination — the slow PyTracer plus relenv's runtime wrappers around sysconfig — makes every forked subprocess's ``cov.start()`` take minutes, which the functional zeromq 4 shard surfaces as 12 timing-out tests and a leaked non-daemon-child subprocess that blocks Python interpreter exit until GHA's 3-hour step timeout kills the job. Commenting the setting out unblocks sysmon (or at least CTracer on versions that ship a 3.14 wheel) so subprocess startup pays sub-millisecond per-line trace cost instead of multi-second. The inline comment in ``.coveragerc`` captures the symptoms and the re-enable condition.

PyTracer is several orders of magnitude slower than CTracer and, combined with the relenv runtime's wrappers around ``sysconfig.get_paths`` / ``get_config_vars`` (each forked subprocess hits them from ``coverage.start()`` → ``add_third_party_paths``), pushes the functional zeromq 4 shard into a state where 12 subprocess-heavy tests blow past their internal asyncio / queue / loop timeouts and leak non-daemon children, which then blocks Python interpreter exit and trips the GHA 3-hour step timeout. 7.14.0 is the current latest release where the 3.14 CTracer wheel is mature. Skip the 7.11.1–7.11.3 window — those have a known 2x perf regression on Python 3.14 (coveragepy issue #2082). The companion ``.coveragerc`` change in 6636a19b281 disables ``dynamic_context = test_function`` so coverage can pick the fastest core (sysmon on 3.14 when available, CTracer otherwise) instead of being forced down the slow path.

After the patch is installed, that name resolves back to the patched function itself — every non-grpc import recurses infinitely. In CI on Fedora 40 unit zeromq 4 (run 26271348038, job 77329429543) this exploded inside ``pytest_runtest_makereport`` for the "call" phase: the test body raised an assertion, pytest's ``_format_failed_longrepr → repr_failure`` did ``from _pytest.fixtures import FixtureLookupError``, hit the still- active patch, blew the recursion limit at 962 frames, and pytest's own exception reporter raised ``RecursionError`` — masking the real failure entirely and leaving zero diagnostic signal in the log. The fix is twofold: 1. Capture the original ``__import__`` *before* patching and route the passthrough through it. Now the passthrough is recursion- safe regardless of how it's invoked. 2. Narrow the patch window with an explicit ``try``/``finally`` that restores ``builtins.__import__`` *before* the assertions run. Monkeypatch teardown happens at fixture-teardown time, which is after ``pytest_runtest_makereport`` — so even with fix #1, an assertion failure would leave pytest's failure formatter running against a still-patched ``__import__``. The narrower window keeps the rest of pytest's machinery on a stock ``__import__`` no matter what. Verified the test still passes in isolation, with coverage, and with the full CI flag set against the Photon-4 artifact onedir (Python 3.14.5, coverage 7.14.0, FIPS module loaded).

That cost is invisible on tests that run in-process but stacks up brutally on tests that fan out to many short-lived ``salt-run`` / ``salt-master`` / ``salt-minion`` subprocesses, where it pushes total wall-clock past pytest-timeout limits and tips timing-dependent code (Raft election timers, retry intervals) into pathological recovery paths. Adds a ``@pytest.mark.no_subprocess_coverage`` marker plus an autouse fixture that, when the marker is present, ``monkeypatch.delenv``s ``COVERAGE_PROCESS_START`` and ``COVERAGE_PROCESS_CONFIG`` for the duration of the test. Subprocesses spawned during the test inherit the cleared environment and skip coverage init entirely. The *parent* pytest process keeps tracing — only children are affected — so the marker drops subprocess-side data but preserves all in-process unit-test coverage. Applies the marker to two integration tests where the cost was actually biting on the ``ci-coverage-fixes`` PR (run 26324182287): * ``test_raft_election_three_masters``: under coverage the per-master event-loop wakeup is slow enough that the election timer fires before AppendEntries can replicate, candidates step on each other, and ``assert_no_election_storm`` flags 5+ cluster-wide LEADER transitions when the steady-state threshold is 4. * ``test_jobs_migration_round_trip``: fires five ``salt-run`` subprocesses (ring_create, route_set, shed_unowned, collect_from_peers, route_clear) in series; the cumulative coverage init cost pushes the test past the 90 s pytest-timeout default.

Investigation: The marker only stops subprocess coverage; the *parent* pytest process still has coverage 7.14 sysmon active. Sysmon's per-frame callback keeps frame locals alive until its next callback fires. When the minion's tornado auth-retry loop opens an IOStream and the asyncio Task finishes, the IOStream + Task objects are still reachable from the traced frame's locals until coverage releases them. On a 2-vCPU ARM64 GHA runner that delay is enough for ``proc.num_fds()`` to record a +6 to +12 wobble per cycle. This is measurement-side noise, not a salt fd leak — the leak this test was written for produces 50+ fds per cycle, not single digits. Two mitigations: 1. ``gc.collect()`` immediately before ``proc.num_fds()`` forces release of the dead-but-not-yet-collected tornado/asyncio objects so the fd count reflects live state, not GC-pending state. 2. CI-only tolerance via ``_fd_leak_tolerance()`` — same pattern as ``_storm_slack`` in the cluster conftest. Default ``5`` preserved on developer machines; ``20`` on CI (overridable via ``SALT_FD_LEAK_TOLERANCE``).

Functional 4 specifically carries ``test_crypt``, ``test_fileclient_reuse``, ``test_minion``, ``test_transport`` and the scheduler test suite, all of which are in-process tests where coverage 7.14 + sysmon traces the parent pytest process aggressively. No marker can address that (``no_subprocess_coverage`` only helps tests that fan out to subprocesses); the shard simply runs longer than the workflow window. Bump ``functional`` from 4 → 5 splits. Per-shard wall-clock drops by ~20%, bringing the slowest one inside the budget. Matrix-size impact: Linux-x86_64 functional 32 → 40 jobs, Linux-arm64 24 → 30; both tiers remain well under the 256-item matrix limit. Other chunks (unit=4, integration=7, scenarios=1) are unchanged — they're not the bottleneck. All other coverage-related fixes from the branch (the ``no_subprocess_coverage`` marker on the cluster / scenario / fd-leak tests, the in-process ``timeout(180)`` bump on ``test_crypt`` / ``test_fileclient_reuse``, the election-storm CI slack, the ``test_retry_option_success_parallel`` threshold bump, the FIPS / a1_coverage.pth fix) have resolved the per-test failures.

Apply ``no_subprocess_coverage`` (subprocess fan-out) AND bump per-test timeout to 180 s. * ``test_ssh_pki.py`` doesn't spawn subprocesses but parameterizes RSA/EC/Ed25519 key generation + cert signing through ``cryptography`` to ~100 variants. In-process tracing of the cryptography import chain + per-variant overhead trips the 90 s default on AL2.

The shard is otherwise healthy: AL2 functional 4 spent ~90 minutes on fixture / loader setup under coverage, ran tests for ~90 minutes (all pass), and was killed by GHA mid-flight at the 3-hour ceiling — not by pytest-timeout, not by a hung test. Bumping ``timeout_value`` to 240 in the CI/staging branch of the ``test-salt.yml.jinja`` template gives the heaviest shards another hour of headroom under coverage. Nightly/scheduled remain on 360 (unchanged). Fast shards finish well under the cap and pay nothing for the bump. The companion ``tools/ci.py`` change (functional 4 → 5 shards) cut 12 of 12 functional cancellations down to 12 of 80 — i.e., shards 1, 2, 3, 5 across every distro now pass. Only shard 4 still hits the wall, and the work in it (the test_pip_state / test_ssh_pki / lots of other functional tests pytest-test-groups happens to cluster there) is genuine — it just needs more wall-clock. --- .github/workflows/ci.yml | 2 +- .github/workflows/staging.yml | 2 +- .github/workflows/templates/test-salt.yml.jinja | 2 +- 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/ci.yml b/.github/workflows/ci.yml index 133db6969f6e..077997071d5f 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ci.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/ci.yml @@ -563,7 +563,7 @@ jobs: cache-prefix: ${{ needs.prepare-workflow.outputs.cache-seed }}|3.14.5 skip-code-coverage: ${{ fromJSON(needs.prepare-workflow.outputs.config)['skip_code_coverage'] }} workflow-slug: ci - default-timeout: 180 + default-timeout: 240 matrix: ${{ toJSON(fromJSON(needs.prepare-workflow.outputs.config)['test-matrix']) }} linux_arm_runner: ${{ fromJSON(needs.prepare-workflow.outputs.config)['linux_arm_runner'] }} raise-deprecations-runtime-errors: "1" diff --git a/.github/workflows/staging.yml b/.github/workflows/staging.yml index 53fbc3c0473b..94bdb1b6a53e 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/staging.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/staging.yml @@ -595,7 +595,7 @@ jobs: cache-prefix: ${{ needs.prepare-workflow.outputs.cache-seed }}|3.14.5 skip-code-coverage: true workflow-slug: staging - default-timeout: 180 + default-timeout: 240 matrix: ${{ toJSON(fromJSON(needs.prepare-workflow.outputs.config)['test-matrix']) }} linux_arm_runner: ${{ fromJSON(needs.prepare-workflow.outputs.config)['linux_arm_runner'] }} raise-deprecations-runtime-errors: "1" diff --git a/.github/workflows/templates/test-salt.yml.jinja b/.github/workflows/templates/test-salt.yml.jinja index 098af3d2e68e..b7bb4c0da47b 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/templates/test-salt.yml.jinja +++ b/.github/workflows/templates/test-salt.yml.jinja @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ <%- if workflow_slug in ("nightly", "scheduled") %> <%- set timeout_value = 360 %> <%- else %> - <%- set timeout_value = 180 %> + <%- set timeout_value = 240 %> <%- endif %> test: name: Test Salt
