I installed the xen development packages on my non-Xen F16 machine in order to compile-test xen code and ensure we don't break things on that front, but being a non-xen machine, /usr/sbin/xend is obviously not running. Unfortunately, xen-4.1.2-1.fc16 has a bug where merely trying to probe xend status on a non-xen kernel causes xend to issue an ABRT crash report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728696 Even though libvirt (correctly) skips the test, the xend crash report is unnecessary noise. Fix this by first filtering out non-xen kernels even before attempting to probe xend. The test still runs and passes (if run as root) on a RHEL 5 xen kernel after this patch. * tests/reconnect.c (mymain): Skip xend probe on non-xen kernel. * tests/statstest.c (mymain): Likewise. --- Pushing under the trivial rule (can't quite call it the build-breaker, since the libvirt testsuite itself still passed). tests/reconnect.c | 9 ++++++++- tests/statstest.c | 9 ++++++++- 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/reconnect.c b/tests/reconnect.c index d4aa9f3..90af830 100644 --- a/tests/reconnect.c +++ b/tests/reconnect.c @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> +#include <sys/utsname.h> #include "internal.h" #include "testutils.h" @@ -20,8 +21,14 @@ mymain(void) virDomainPtr dom; int status; virCommandPtr cmd; + struct utsname ut; - /* skip test if xend is not running */ + /* Skip test if xend is not running.
