Description

Skip hibernation tests on FIPS-enabled kernels (Azure returns VMHibernateFailed on every attempt, so it is an unmet precondition rather than a failure), and treat a missing /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled as FIPS-disabled instead of erroring. Also reboot after hibernation setup so the bootloader resume=/resume_offset= parameters take effect before hibernating.

Test Results

Image VM Size Result
PASSED / FAILED / SKIPPED

Hibernation tests share startstop.stop(Hibernate); Azure intermittently returns a transient VMHibernateFailed internal error that it documents as retryable. Retry that exact error up to 3 times, 30s apart, only while the VM is still running. Other failures and non-running states raise immediately as before.
On Debian the hibernation-setup tool writes resume=/resume_offset= to the bootloader, which only take effect after a reboot. Without it the guest accepts the hibernate uevent but never suspends, so Azure returns VMHibernateFailed on every attempt (seen on Debian 13). Extend the existing post-setup reboot workaround (already used for Redhat/AlmaLinux/SLES) to Debian. Exact type() match keeps Ubuntu unaffected.
Ubuntu 24.04 shows the same persistent VMHibernateFailed as Debian: the guest accepts the hibernate uevent but never suspends because the resume=/resume_offset= bootloader entries need a reboot to take effect. Ubuntu is a Debian subclass but the exact type() check did not cover it, so add Ubuntu explicitly. The list now covers all distros is_distro_supported allows.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Azure hibernation test common helpers to (1) treat FIPS-enabled kernels as an unmet precondition (skip) and (2) reboot after hibernation setup on additional distros (Debian/Ubuntu) to avoid a known “accepts uevent but never suspends” failure mode.

Changes:

  • Add FIPS-kernel detection and skip logic for Azure hibernation scenarios that always fail with VMHibernateFailed.
  • Expand the post-setup reboot guard to include Debian and Ubuntu.

  • Please add a description explaining what this PR does and why (the PR description still contains the unfilled template placeholders).
# Some Azure guest/kernel combinations, including certified FIPS kernels,
# do not support hibernation at all. In those cases the platform returns
# VMHibernateFailed on every attempt, so we treat it as an unmet precondition
# rather than a transient failure that can be recovered with retry delay.

  • type(node.os) in (...) is unnecessarily strict and inconsistent with other checks in this module (e.g. isinstance(node.os, Redhat) above). Using isinstance is more robust and keeps behavior the same for the current OS classes.

  • Update the call site to use the renamed helper so the skip check continues to work.
    if _is_fips_kernel(node):

lisa/microsoft/testsuites/power/common.py:43

  • The helper name _is_fips_kernel is misleading because it returns true when either the kernel or the runtime FIPS mode is enabled (/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled == 1). Renaming it to reflect both conditions will make the precondition clearer.

This issue also appears on line 55 of the same file.

def _is_fips_kernel(node: Node) -> bool:
    # Azure hibernation is unsupported on the certified FIPS kernel (e.g. Ubuntu
    # Pro *-azure-fips): it returns VMHibernateFailed on every attempt, so this
    # is an unmet precondition rather than a test failure.
    fips_enabled = "0"

Hibernation on x86 systems failed in FIPS mode (fips=1) because it used MD5 for E820 memory-map integrity checks, which is prohibited in FIPS. The Linux kernel fixed this upstream by replacing MD5 with CRC32, allowing hibernation to function correctly under FIPS restrictions.
