This disk layout defines a number of job allocation schemes.
The format is
allot/$scheme/$testbox/$jobfile
A tree example:
allot
├── cyclic
│ ├── brickland1
│ │ ├── aim7-micro.yaml
│ │ ├── hpcc.yaml -> ../../../jobs/hpcc.yaml
│ │ ├── idle.yaml -> ../../../jobs/idle.yaml

│ └── xfstests-xfs.yaml -> ../../../jobs/xfstests-xfs.yaml
├── scsi:fixes -> scsi
└── scsi:misc -> scsi
The allocation scheme may be referenced by the queue command
$ queue $scheme
For example,
$ queue scsi
will queue the 4 xfstests jobs to testbox vm-kbuild-4G.
-
cyclic
Whenever a testbox's cyclic queue goes empty, it will be auto refilled with the set of jobs defined in this scheme.
It should ideally assign the same amount of works (eg. 1 day) to each testbox. The same job will be assigned to multiple testboxes of different hardware generations.
-
diag
Suitable for evaluating a patchset that can potentially impact many different kind of workloads.
$ queue diag -b linux-next
It should normally assign one job (or multiple quick jobs) to each testbox.
-
rand
The jobs defined here will be randomly selected for testing new kernels. Since the new kernels may be unstable, only virtual machines are defined.
-
tree:branch
The unit test schemes. Whenever the git tree/branch is updated, jobs defined here will be auto queued and results will be emailed to the branch committer.
