Hi folks,
The 2022.03 tag has been pushed to master on git.lavasoftware.org.
.deb packages have been built in GitLab CI and are published at
https://apt.lavasoftware.org/release
Docker images for amd64 and arm64 have been built in GitLab CI and
are available from
https://hub.lavasoftware.org/
and
https://hub.docker.com/u/lavasoftware
Changes in this release
==================
# Device-types
## New device-types
New supported devices:
* at91sam9g20ek
# Server performances
Improve server performances by dropping COUNT queries that where used for
pagination. Also cache permissions to avoid recalculation in the same page.
# lava-(docker)-worker
Allow to set `--job-log-interval` for both `lava-docker-worker` and
`lava-worker`. On large instances, admins can increase the value to lower
server load.
# lava-dispatcher-host
Fix a file descriptor leak. Without this patch, after some jobs, the
process will run out of file descriptors.
# lava-run
Add job definition secrets to the environment when starting `lava-run`.
This allows to download from private git repositories by providing
authentication in the job definition secrets.

Hi folks,
The 2022.02 tag has been pushed to master on git.lavasoftware.org.

Changes in this release
==================
# Device-types
## New device-types
New supported devices:
* seco-c61
## d05
Use NFS version 3 by default when loading the root file-system with NFS.
## dephtcharge
Allow to boot from emmc. Typical extra kernel arguments for booting a
Chrome OS image are `root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 cros_debug cros_secure`.
## hp-x360-14-G1-sona
Automatically retry on boot failures to workaround bootloader issues.
## UUU
Enable "on worker" uuu_usb_otg_path configuration instead of modifying
devices definitions located on the master.
Before this change, the LAVA device dictionary contained static uuu USB ID
as a string, like:
```jinja
{% set uuu_usb_otg_path = '1:324' %}
```
The dictionary can now contain a command that will actually return this
string.
```jinja
{% set uuu_usb_otg_path_command = ['board-control', 'imx8mq-evk-01',
'extra', 'uuu_otg_path', '--silent'] %}
```
# docker + adb,fastboot
We often observe race conditions where a USB device will disconnect between
the time when it gets added to the docker command line as a `--device=
option` and the time that the container actually starts.
Instead of running one-off containers, start the containers first, wait for
them to be up, map devices into them with lava-dispatcher-host, and then
run the command. This way, if the device gets disconnected it will be
re-shared with the container once it is enumerated again.
# Settings
The LAVA server settings can now be configured from environment variables.
Every variables that starts with `LAVA_SETTINGS_` will be added to the
django settings.
For complex settings, admins can use LAVA_JSON_SETTINGS which is expected
to be a dictionary as json, base64 encoded. For instance:
```python
import base64
import json
data = {
"WORKER_AUTO_REGISTER_NETMASK": ["::1"]
}
print(base64.b64encode(json.dumps(data).encode("utf-8")).decode("utf-8"))
```
In order to use it, add to the environment:
`LAVA_JSON_SETTINGS="eyJXT1JLRVJfQVVUT19SRUdJU1RFUl9ORVRNQVNLIjogWyI6OjEiXX0="`.
See [the documentation](
https://lava.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin/basic-tutorials/instance/config…
).
# Container images
Fix LDAP support when using LDAPS and upgrade sentry-sdk to 1.5.5 in
lava-server images.
# Debian packaging
Ensure `lava-celery-worker`, `lava-dispatcher-host` and
`lava-docker-worker` are restarted on upgrades.
# Worker
## Logging interval
By default, lava-run will send the new logs to the server every second. For
large labs, this would generate a consequent load on the server. This
interval is now configurable when calling `lava-docker-worker` and
`lava-worker`.
