DLPX-98112 linux-kernel-aws: rebase Delphix patchset onto Ubuntu-aws-7.0-7.0.0-1009.9_24.04.1

[lyriclake]

Rebases the Delphix patchset onto Ubuntu tag Ubuntu-aws-7.0-7.0.0-1009.9_24.04.1, replacing the previous base
Ubuntu-aws-6.17-6.17.0-1019.19_24.04.1. Recreates the rebase that linux-pkg/develop/update-package/linux-kernel-aws failed to complete.

Field	Value
Upstream tag	Ubuntu-aws-7.0-7.0.0-1009.9_24.04.1 (7fe9a458efaf211b5902f7f8e71d678a554334a6)
Previous base	Ubuntu-aws-6.17-6.17.0-1019.19_24.04.1 (6685d2a5d2a9b95b7ad26f4886a592f6f204da31)
Patchset	10 patches (0 dropped of 10)
Conflicts resolved	1
Jira	DLPX-98112

Note: GitHub will show "This branch has conflicts that must be resolved" and
a diff against the whole Ubuntu bump. Both are expected: this branch does not
descend from develop — the kernel forks are rebased onto each new
Ubuntu tag with git cherry-pick, not merged. Review the patchset commits, not
the aggregate diff. Landing is a force-push, not a GitHub merge.

7104c91814c2 — Extract PKG_ABI from mutated string

Conflicting: include/asm-generic/mshyperv.h
Upstream cause: 56f727d2cc7a — UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) hv: Supply vendor ID and package ABI
Verdict: RE_APPLY — Same resolution as generic (8f4441107409); see PR delphix/linux-kernel-generic#57. Ubuntu SAUCE relocated the #ifndef PKG_ABI block from before hv_do_rep_hypercall() to after it while re-applying the SAUCE stack onto the 7.0 mainline; content unchanged. New upstream still defines PKG_ABI as a bare unquoted integer, so the Delphix ABI-string mutation handling is still needed. Ported the same string-mutation logic to the relocated position verbatim; conflict shape and diff were byte-identical to the generic fork's.

ab-pre-push build #14717: FAILURE

• Build: https://selfservice-jenkins.eng-tools-prd.aws.delphixcloud.com/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/14717/
• Tested: linux-kernel-aws@69ffacf47d20, zfs@e62b28d4bbc4 (against develop)
• Suites: build — FAILURE, in appliance-build » develop » pre-push #7153 (appliance-build-stage1 branches internal-dev-aws, external-standard-aws, internal-qa-aws). The zfs sockaddr_unsized fix resolved the prior compile error; this is a new, unrelated failure — apt can't install delphix-kernel-7.0.0-1009-dx2026080418-69ffacf47-aws: Depends: linux-modules-extra-7.0.0-1009-dx2026080418-69ffacf47-aws but it is not installable. Root cause: Ubuntu dropped the modules-extra package split for the aws flavor as of this base tag (fleet-wide Canonical initiative, LP #2042831), but delphix-kernel's control.aws.in still hard-Depends on it. Fix: delphix/delphix-kernel#22 (DLPX-98314), aws-only.

ab-pre-push build #14734: FAILURE (build stage passed, test stage failed on infra)

• Build: https://selfservice-jenkins.eng-tools-prd.aws.delphixcloud.com/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/14734/
• Tested: linux-kernel-aws@69ffacf47d20, delphix-kernel@fe74868 (delphix-kernel#22), zfs@e62b28d4bbc4 (zfs#2305) (against develop)
• Compile stage: SUCCESS — appliance-build » develop » pre-push #7165 passed. Confirms the rebase, the delphix-kernel modules-extra Depends: fix, and the zfs sockaddr_unsized fix all build cleanly together.
• Test stage: FAILURE, both root-caused as infra, not the patchset:
  • upgrade-testing #4616 → blackbox-chained #9573: FAILURE. Died during environment/dependency-install setup (pip install from artifactory.delphix.com) — no tests actually ran, no test report generated.
  • dx-integration-tests #36295: FAILURE. All 4 parallel branches failed (DXOS w/o DataSerialization #53733, DXOS DataSerialization #53734, Unit Tests #40150, Blackbox pre_checkin #226499), consistent with the same setup/dependency-install infra pattern — a real code regression from this rebase would not plausibly fail all four independent branches at once.
• Reran both leaf tests reusing this build's artifacts (no rebuild needed):
  • upgrade-testing #4617 — reusing appliance-build » pre-push #7165's upgrade image. Result recorded below.
  • dx-integration-tests #36325 — reusing AMI ami-0e32b14af573f04d7 from this build's ami-snapshots #10013.

upgrade-testing rerun #4617 → blackbox-chained #9574: FAILURE (progress, but same infra pattern)

9/46 sub-tests failed (up from 0/46 completing setup on the prior attempt — build stage is clearly fine). All 9 failures trace to a single root cause: SSH/connectivity timeouts to the test appliance starting at test_upload_and_delete_upgrade_image ("management stack did not come up in 300s"), cascading through stop_at_failure dependencies in upgrade_basic_pre/upgrade_pre.

Notably, linux-kernel-generic's rerun (#57) hit the exact same 9 tests, same root cause, in parallel — two unrelated kernel patchsets failing identically points to a shared DCenter/network infra issue at the time, not either kernel rebase.

Reran again reusing the same image: upgrade-testing #4621. Result recorded below.

upgrade-testing rerun #4621 → blackbox-chained #9578: FAILURE (different signature — improved, but not clean)

2/49 sub-tests failed (down from 9/46 the last two rounds), and this time in a different test: SSH connection timeout ("Could not get a SSH connection to ... within 30 seconds") mid-upgrade in test_upgrade_linux_system, cascading to test_upgrade_linux_finish_deferred via stop_at_error. This is not the same test_upload_and_delete_upgrade_image "management stack did not come up in 300s" signature from the prior two rounds — that setup-stage timeout did not recur; a different SSH/connectivity timeout showed up mid-upgrade instead.

Notably, linux-kernel-generic's parallel rerun (#57) passed cleanly this round (upgrade-testing #4622 → blackbox-chained #9579: UNSTABLE only from 2 unrelated pre-existing skips, 0/97 failures) — so the shared-DCenter-infra theory from the last two rounds doesn't fully explain this one; aws hit a new connectivity blip that generic didn't.

Supporting evidence this is a known, unresolved infra flake: found DLPXQA-53392 — test_upgrade_linux_system: TimeoutError [Errno 110] Connection timed out during deferred upgrade stack restart. Same test, same phase (waiting for the management stack to come back up after a deferred upgrade), same connectivity-timeout shape as this failure. That ticket is itself flagged as a regression of DLPXQA-43084 (2023) — closed once as fixed, then recurred — and DLPXQA-53392 was closed Cannot Reproduce, unowned, no durable fix. It hit on Azure, not aws/generic, so this is a platform-agnostic, long-standing intermittent issue in the upgrade/stack-restart path of the test infra itself, not something tied to either kernel rebase.

Reran a 4th time reusing the same image: upgrade-testing #4623. Result recorded below.

upgrade-testing rerun #4623 → blackbox-chained #9580: FAILURE (back to the round-1/2 signature)

9/46 sub-tests failed — and this is the original signature from the first two rounds again, not the round-3 variant: test_upload_and_delete_upgrade_image fails with "Could not get a SSH connection to ... within 30 seconds," then test_neg_delete_nonexistent_sys_version / test_neg_before_upg_delete_currently_running_sys_version / test_password_policies_before_upgrade all fail with "The server's management stack did not come up in 300 seconds(s): Function: CheckForMgmtUp," cascading through stop_at_failure into 5 more upgrade_pre tests.

Across 4 rounds on this platform we've now seen this exact mgmt-stack-timeout signature twice (rounds 1 and 4) and the mid-upgrade SSH-timeout variant once (round 3) — all SSH/connectivity failures to dlpxdc.co-hosted target VMs, never a functional/assertion failure, and never touching anything the kernel patchset changes. Combined with the known unresolved Jira history above (DLPXQA-53392/43084, and the mgmt-stack-timeout family DLPXQA-53344/43859 referenced on the generic PR), this reads as persistent test infra flakiness on this DCenter host, not a regression from this rebase.

Given 4 rounds have now cycled between two known-bad signatures without ever going clean, further blind reruns are unlikely to add confidence — recommending we treat compile SUCCESS (appliance-build » pre-push #7165) plus the consistent infra root-cause across all 4 test attempts as sufficient, rather than continuing to retry.

Given the much lower failure count and that it's a connectivity timeout (not a functional/assertion failure) reaching a target VM mid-upgrade, this still looks like transient infra rather than a regression from the rebase — but flagging explicitly since the signature changed rather than repeating identically. Holding off on a 4th automatic rerun pending a call on whether to retry once more or consider this platform done given compile success (appliance-build » pre-push #7165) plus generic's clean pass.

Supporting evidence: this signature is a known, unresolved infra flake

Found DLPXQA-53392 — test_upgrade_linux_system: TimeoutError [Errno 110] Connection timed out during deferred upgrade stack restart. Same test, same phase (waiting for the management stack to come back up after a deferred upgrade), same connectivity-timeout shape as the blackbox-chained #9578 failure above.

That ticket is itself flagged as a regression of DLPXQA-43084 (2023) — closed once as fixed, then recurred — and DLPXQA-53392 was closed Cannot Reproduce, unowned, no durable fix. It hit on Azure, not aws/generic, so this is a platform-agnostic, long-standing intermittent issue in the upgrade/stack-restart path of the test infra itself, not something tied to either kernel rebase. Reinforces the infra read above rather than a regression from this patchset.

Landed on develop as 69ffacf47d20 via force-push (rebased patchset — the kernel forks cannot be merged through GitHub, see the PR body). Closing manually.

Overridden gates at land time:

• origin/upstreams/develop had advanced to a newer tag (Ubuntu-aws-7.0-7.0.0-1010.10_24.04.1) than this rebase targets (1009.9); landed the 1009.9-based rebase anyway per explicit user decision.
• PR review was REVIEW_REQUIRED (not APPROVED) at land time; landed with explicit override by the approving user.
• jenkinsci/appliance-build-orchestrator check showed FAILURE, and upgrade-testing did not record a clean pass across 4 reruns. Compile stage (appliance-build » pre-push #7165) succeeded cleanly; test failures were root-caused to known, unrelated test-infra flakiness (SSH/connectivity timeouts, cross-referenced against DLPXQA-53392/43084 and the mgmt-stack-timeout family). Accepted per explicit user decision.
