hi,

fw_fallback.sh test failed.
The error may caused by failed to write /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request.

There is not /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules in Debian 11.
How can fw_run_tests.sh run successfully in Debian 11?

Are you sure you have the proper kernel code loaded with the test
firmware code that creates this sysfs file?  Without that, this test
will not work.

thanks,

I checked following config options, and they all enabled.

tools/testing/selftests/firmware/config
CONFIG_TEST_FIRMWARE=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y

Nevertheless, the error message you reported in your first email indicates
that the test_firmware device may not be present. Did you verify that the running
system reports the expected configs? What does the following command show?

zgrep CONFIG_TEST_FIRMWARE /proc/config.gz

How much of this path exists on your machine?

/sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request

And is there anything in the dmesg output that indicates a failure associated with
the test_firmware device?

The above message looks like the problem. Firmware sysfs fallback has been turned off
on this system using sysctl. Can you try turning it on and rerunning the test?

Thanks,

Sorry, I don't know how to turn on firmware sysfs fallback.
Could you tell me?

I search the firmware fallback options in kernel config.
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
# CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK is not set

Take a look at the kernel documentation (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.0/driver-api/firmware/fallback-mechanisms.html) which says, "This syfs fallback mechanism may be disabled completely on a system by setting the proc sysctl value ignore_sysfs_fallback to true."

Also refer to the sysctl man page: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/procps/sysctl.8.en.html.

I often see folks mis-running selftests, even thougggh in theory it
should be easy. And so I've added initial kernel selftests support to kdevops:

https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops

So try to enable the selftests dedicated workflow, enable the firmware
test, enable building a linux-next kernel and go to town:

make menuconfig
make

make selftests          # builds selftests
make selftests-firwmare # runs the selftests for firmware

I think we have to up our timeout now for the firmware loader as its
currently failing as the tests now take a bit too long. Anyone oppose we
bump the firmware selftests to 200s ?
