Currently meson registers a single test that invokes an entire group of I/O tests, hiding the test granularity from meson. There are various downsides of doing this * You cannot ask 'meson test' to invoke a single I/O test * The meson test timeout can't be applied to the individual tests * Meson only gets a pass/fail for the overall I/O test group not individual tests * If a CI job gets killed by the GitLab timeout, we don't get visibility into how far through the I/O tests execution got. This switches meson to perform test discovery by invoking 'check' in dry-run mode. It then registers one meson test case for each I/O test. Parallel execution remains disabled since the I/O tests do not use self contained execution environments and thus conflict with each other. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite === * Intro This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu. It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio. * Usage Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check -qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods. * Feedback and patches Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC: to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
