Redlist: sixteen reds on main, each disabled with the issue that owns it

[Japabu]

Sixteen reds on main are disabled at once, each with the issue that owns it, so a run on a loaded host stops being re-run until it is green. The fixes for the ten verdicts the host's speed decided follow in a separate pull request, which deletes their rows.

blockd_serves_partitions	wt/toyos-libcllvm (libc only)	main: the bench passed and its process exited at 35.978 s, and no ===TEST_END=== came in 3559 s while the kernel kept logging idle. Either test-runner's wait missed the exit or logd stopped forwarding; blockd itself finished, so #643 is not on the path	issues/kernel/a-job-that-exited-was-never-reported-ended.md

The 74-minute guard on redirty_mid_flush (120 s × 12 wide × a host_scale of 3.1) is the harness's half of the same issue as the update tests, and the fix pull request removes it.

src/redlist.rs's whole-name test probed <row>_controls against None. With syscall_window_nmi and syscall_window_nmi_controls both disabled, that probe finds the second row, so it now asserts that the probe does not find the row it extends.

Gates at 703d970

• cargo test --lib redlist: EXIT=0, 5 passed (at e641eae, dc153d6 and 703d970).
• cargo test --test toyos-checks: EXIT=0, 28 passed (at 703d970, before the blockd row was rewrapped).
• The old probe assertion, applied as a checked patch to this table: EXIT=101, left: Some(Disabled { test: "syscall_window_nmi_controls", .. }) right: None; restored.
• cargo run -- --ci host is run once on the fix branch, which carries this one.

Unsure

• process_stats: which park satisfied the test's BLOCKED premise is not on record, because the assertion prints two of the five wait classes.
• redirty_mid_flush: the held-disk wedge is a reading. The capture has no kernel line after 1.690 s to confirm it.

Review of #654 at head 703d9703e.

CI: ci run 36811706825, job host: success at 703d970. No hardware target. Net +336 −2: the src/redlist.rs table +61, its unit test +1 −1, issues +274 −1.

BLOCKER

1. src/redlist.rs:93 (row redirty_mid_flush): the logs do not support "main". Its only red is on SYS_PROCESS_OPEN is deleted, 110 is free, and a spawn mints its child's own handle before its caller's #642's unlanded head 6e9d6a4 (642r2-642-whole.log:2030). Main's code, including the msc.rs rewrite, passed the test in 650-libcllvm-whole.log:1297 (PASS redirty_mid_flush (73s)). That tree is built on 49f4938, which contains e754dc8. Against main, SYS_PROCESS_OPEN is deleted, 110 is free, and a spawn mints its child's own handle before its caller's #642's own kernel change is 10 files. Among them, HandleEntry::drop no longer exempts Process, so a process handle is now on that path, and the guest went silent right after a spawn. The row hides a red from the one branch it was seen on. Drop the row and its issue from Redlist: sixteen reds on main, each disabled with the issue that owns it #654, and from The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658, which carries them. The red stays with SYS_PROCESS_OPEN is deleted, 110 is free, and a spawn mints its child's own handle before its caller's #642's verdict until a main-only tree shows it.
2. issues/kernel/a-job-that-exited-was-never-reported-ended.md:23: the issue's two readings leave out the open issues/build/qemu-drops-console-output-the-harness-is-slow-to-read.md. That issue records this exact symptom: the runner's ===TEST_END=== was lost from the stdio console at load 40–50, and the harness waited until its ceiling. This boot reads the stdio console (tests/common/blockd.rs:105, no console_file) at load 66–74. The kernel's later lines arriving is what that mechanism predicts once the pipe drains. The exit, "the parked thread named … and the defect fixed", cannot be met if QEMU dropped the line. Point the row at that issue or rule it out from the capture.
3. issues/build/process-stats-exits-101-beside-other-guests.md:40: the disjunct "or the assertion prints every class and a red names the park; then the row goes" deletes the row while the defect is still unfixed, so the test reds every PR again in order to get its diagnosis. Delete the disjunct.
4. Exits and owners: none of the nine issues this branch adds or edits names an owner. Eight exits name a fix but no run that turns the row green: a-harness-wait-reads-a-starved-guest-as-a-stopped-one.md:49, a-ready-marker-read-off-the-16550-file-can-end-the-boot-wait-mid-line.md:25, iommu-virtio-platform-reads-netds-lines-off-a-boot-log-that-ends-before-them.md:30, lan-dhcp-lease-asserts-a-line-its-wait-does-not-wait-for.md:25, process-stats-exits-101-beside-other-guests.md:40, a-job-that-exited-was-never-reported-ended.md:35, redirty-mid-flush-went-silent-after-spawning-its-child.md:33 and the-syscall-window-storm-times-its-victim-by-the-guests-wall-clock.md:24. The ninth, an-ap-its-host-has-not-scheduled-for-100-ms-is-booted-without.md:26, says "green on a loaded host" but names no load. CLAUDE.md requires a recorded compromise to have an owner and an exit. Main's expected-red siblings carry both, e.g. issues/build/the-console-input-path-can-stop-after-a-ps2-overflow.md:74-76: "… is green beside other guests. Owner: orchestrator."

NOTE

• Evidence by row. On main by sightings: process_stats (also on host-only 6e0d7da82), the four update_*, iommu_virtio_platform, and the pre-kernel boots loader_watchdog_arms, metal_sim_window_drag, usb_boot_stick_pulled and guest_dies_with_its_harness. On main by mechanism, in code the branch where they were seen leaves unchanged: lan_dhcp_lease and root_candidate_malformed (seen only on Every QEMU ceiling is at most three times what its test takes; wedges end in seconds; two LAN boots ride the talking boot #638), virt_smp (seen only on Nothing ships for tests alone: the five virt probes leave the shipped toybox, and two owner rulings enter reviewer.md #636, userland-only, failing at kernel 0.368 s), syscall_window_nmi_controls (seen only on A child's end is readiness on its Process handle: OP_WATCH answers at the published exit, and no close ends another handle's watch #648) and blockd_serves_partitions (seen only on 650). Not on main: redirty_mid_flush, BLOCKER 1.
• lan-dhcp-lease-…md and iommu-virtio-platform-…md describe one mechanism, filed twice: a test asserts a netd line from a capture that ends at test-runner's ===READY===. d773a43 waits on the stream for the daemon's line, and that fixes both. Fold them into one issue that both rows point at.
• a-harness-wait-reads-a-starved-guest-as-a-stopped-one.md is the mechanism the open issues/build/parallel-tests-red-under-other-suites.md catalogues in its opening paragraph. The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658 deletes only the new file. Fold the two, or close both in The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658.
• The 650 tree is not libc-only. It moves rust from aca5f527f to 9151571ca, which changes std's exported C malloc/free/realloc in every Rust guest program. blockd_serves_partitions was seen only on that tree, so its attribution depends on that change being off its path, and the issue should say so.
• 650-libcllvm-whole.log:2226-5800: user mmap held rises from 23 to 30 between 74.9 s and 3026.8 s, so some process kept allocating through the silence. The blockd issue's reading, "every CPU ready=0 with its threads parked", does not account for that.
• tests/toyos.rs:17222: check_redlist, the part of the gate that refuses a row nothing registers, runs only in the guest harness. Host CI does not reach it, and the PR body records no run of it at 703d970. A misspelled row would make every guest run exit 1 before any boot. All 16 names match the logs' FAIL lines. cargo test --test toyos -- --list at the head runs the check.
• Fit with The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658: consistent. The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658 carries 703d970 (merge 7c353c5) and deletes exactly the ten host-speed rows and their three issues, so Redlist: sixteen reds on main, each disabled with the issue that owns it #654 lands first or together with The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658. The host-speed rows belong here: The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658 has no guest run at its head, and the rule is to disable at once. Merge whatever changes this review causes in Redlist: sixteen reds on main, each disabled with the issue that owns it #654 into The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658 again before The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658 lands. Once The host's load decides no verdict: every wait on a guest reads the guest's own clock, and a wait on another CPU is a bound on a dead one #658 drops syscall_window_nmi_controls, src/redlist.rs:321's assert_ne!(…, Some(row)) can go back to assert_eq!(…, None).
• The redlist and the recorded durations go: a red test is fixed or deleted with its issue, a flaky test is deleted at once, and shards deal the task list in turn #639 (open) deletes src/redlist.rs, its rule and three of these tests: process_stats (4a5b228), redirty_mid_flush (5c3f464) and usb_boot_stick_pulled (02366d7).

Closed as superseded: its rows lived in src/redlist.rs, which #639 deleted, and #660 (landed) carries its issue files with the review's corrections. The one issue it shared with #658 (a-harness-wait-reads-a-starved-guest-as-a-stopped-one.md) is carried by #658's re-cut on the 21-test harness.
