From de58423a37b6414eff309b7821e314b359d4f30f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: japabu Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 08:11:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Disable lan_swap, swap_netd, swap_crash_rolls_back and usb_transport_break with their filed defects MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The three swap tests share one mechanism, seen today on 557r2-fast.log and 563r3-fast.log: `Stream::redial` (src/metaltalk.rs) dials logd again at once on every refusal with no event to wait on, spending a fixed 64-dial ceiling against a guest-side gap the swap does not bound — a race that landed on all three names in one day. usb_transport_break's AnotherStick red is the known held-disk-vs-vfs-lock mechanism already traced on the xhci-wake branch (554r6-usb_transport_break.log); its issue moves to expected-red rather than duplicating that branch's own sighting.

Their true content folds into issues/build/a-swaps-redial-races-a-hard-dial-ceiling-against-an-unbounded-guest-gap.md as prior sightings, and the three files and the bullet are deleted so the three disabled rows cite one issue. The exit condition was a reproducer, not a fix, and named no owner. It is now one line naming the redial's time-bound fix, owned the way the other expected-red issues write it. The host-contention paragraph is replaced with the review's measurement: 64 dials were refused in 326 ms with none taking more than 5 ms, while green swaps were refused 3, 6 and 22 times — the refusal window, not contention. The held-disk issue lists usb_transport_break's three other open red modes as related records, since its redlist row now hides them.

From bf936c241524a332da9795a6777a47face57d9e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: japabu Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 08:57:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Review r2 fixes: name the redial owner in code, cut dated log names and false parentheticals The redial-ceiling issue's exit names src/metaltalk.rs's Stream::redial as its owner instead of the diagnostics issue it already cites elsewhere, since that issue's own exit is unrelated and can close independently. Drops today-dated scratchpad log names that point at nothing on main, a fabricated "each ended" log block no run actually printed, and three false claims about which tests judge Restored vs InService. The held-disk issue's three related records drop parentheticals that only repeated the file names they follow.
