Fix scale and correctness defects, add TX(avg) and a per-host throughput breakdown - #29
Fix scale and correctness defects, add TX(avg) and a per-host throughput breakdown#29zveinn wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
hperf was unreliable above a few dozen hosts, and several reported numbers
were wrong in ways nothing surfaced. This fixes the defects, adds the average
throughput column, and puts gates in CI so the concurrency work stays fixed.
Crashes and leaks
- test.cons was written by two goroutines while a third iterated and deleted
from it. That is an unrecoverable runtime throw, not a catchable panic, and
it killed the server: reproduced 2 of 4 servers dead within 2 client
attach cycles. cons is now guarded, with the locking contract written out
above the test struct. 38,400 attach cycles, no deaths.
- The *websocket.Conn handed to a handler by gofiber/contrib is a pooled
wrapper; releaseConn nils its embedded conn and returns it for the next
upgrade to claim. Tests outlive their client by design, so a stored wrapper
later wrote into an unrelated client's socket. New wsPeer holds the inner
non-pooled conn, serializes writes, and applies a write deadline.
- Non-200 responses never closed resp.Body, so each failed request burned a
connection, an fd and two net/http goroutines - up to (hosts-1) x
concurrency of them in one test.
- streamTestFilesToWebsocket opened files in a loop with no Close: one leaked
fd per file per download, for the server's lifetime.
- Finished tests kept a PayloadSize buffer and an http.Client per peer alive
forever (~63 MB per run at 64 hosts).
Memory
fiber ReadBufferSize/WriteBufferSize were 1 MB. They are allocated per
concurrent connection, and a full mesh opens (hosts-1) x concurrency of them.
Measured 1000 KB of RSS per inbound connection; now 64 KiB buffers and 85-99
KB per connection. In containers, peak RSS per server fell from 84-88 MiB to
36-39 MiB on 8 nodes.
Silent data loss
- resetTestFiles globbed id+"*" instead of id+".*", so starting "--id test"
deleted test2.1 and testing.1. Verified against real files.
- parseConfig's TestID switch covered "http" and "get", which match no
command, and omitted "requests" - so `hperf requests` ran with an empty
TestID and that glob then matched and deleted every saved test.
- analyze discarded every error point: the prefix test was on b[1:], always
'{', and the unmarshal included the prefix byte. download then analyze
reported zero errors on a file full of them.
- Client-supplied test IDs are validated before becoming a filename. Read and
delete paths check containment instead, so files written by older servers
stay accessible.
- Sort comparators returned 1 for equal elements, violating
slices.SortFunc's ordering contract, so two analyses of one file could
disagree.
Wrong numbers
- The live table had no aggregate and no average: TX(high)/TX(low) were the
extremes of per-flow per-second rates over all history, so TX(low) pinned
to the ramp-up sample and never recovered (measured a 31x spread against
TX(high) on 8 nodes). Renamed TX(max)/TX(min), semantics unchanged, and
added TX(avg) over the same population so min <= avg <= max reads
coherently. A per-host table now prints at the end of a run, slowest
first, so one lagging node is visible instead of averaged away.
- #Dropped summed since-boot RECEIVE drops across every interface including
lo, ignoring transmit drops - the ones that matter for a saturating
sender. It is now a per-test delta of RX+TX on the interface carrying the
test, with -1 for "no usable counter", which is distinct from zero.
- A sampling window under 100 ms is skipped rather than divided out; the
final flush landed microseconds after the last sample and its rate became
TX(max), inflating it 3-6x.
- The live tick rescanned the whole accumulated slice every second while
reading it without the lock that guards appends. Aggregation is now
incremental and O(1) per data point.
- A TX column of width 10 could not fit BWToString's 11 characters, shifting
every later column at GB/s scale.
Run completion
- One unreachable host aborted the entire run. It now proceeds with the
reachable subset and names the exclusions loudly, because a silently
smaller mesh is the failure this tool exists to detect.
- The readiness channel was reused by the reconnect path and eventually
blocked forever before the read loop, dropping a host from the results
with nothing left to notice.
- hostsDoingWork was incremented only for hosts that connected but
decremented for every reader goroutine, so with half the hosts down the
counter hit zero and a 300s run exited successfully after one second
having saved nothing.
- A reconnecting socket now re-announces itself, so it is re-attached to the
running test instead of waiting for a Done that would never arrive.
- The websocket dial had no timeout at all, so reconnecting to an address
that black-holes packets hung until the kernel gave up.
- keepAliveLoop's grace period scales with duration instead of a flat 20s.
- A run that collects nothing, and a download that returns nothing, now exit
non-zero instead of reporting success.
Also
- --concurrency 0 built a zero-capacity semaphore with no tokens and hung
forever; the computed fallback was discarded.
- requests advertised --concurrency/--payload-size/--buffer-size/
--request-delay and silently overwrote all four.
- Deleted cmd/hperf/stream.go: never registered in Commands, so unreachable.
- helm latency-job read .Values.bandwidth.printAll/.micro, which breaks a
latency-only deploy. Chart bumped to 5.2.0 for the template change.
- .golangci.yml was pinned to golangci-lint 1.20.0 with four since-removed
linters, so the documented lint gate had never run. Migrated to v2; it
immediately found an unclosed handshake response body and three unused
near-full copies of the data set in analyzeLatencyTest.
- CI now lints, tests with -race, and repeats the concurrency tests at
GOMAXPROCS 1 and 4.
- README: three example commands passed flags their command does not
register and could never have run; --insecure was documented as defaulting
to false when it is a BoolT defaulting to true; percentile analysis was
claimed for bandwidth tests, which produce none. Flag table now says which
commands accept what, and list/delete are documented.
Tests go from 9 functions to 33, covering each defect above. Verified end to
end on a 4- and 8-node podman mesh: reported bytes match container NIC
counters to within 0.5-0.9%, and a killed or flapping host no longer stalls
or fails a run.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change hardens server and client concurrency, adds live and per-host aggregation, validates test IDs and persisted records, updates CLI and Helm behavior, and expands race-enabled CI, linting, tests, and operational documentation. ChangesCore runtime changes
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR changes concurrency, test-file handling, reporting, and CI behavior, but unresolved issues can still cause runtime races, destructive deletion of saved tests, or commands that report success after a host operation failed; the CI workflow also uses broad default permissions and moving tool references.

Guard against an empty go test -run selection.
The filter currently selects five tests. If a test is renamed, go test -run can pass without running any matching tests. Make the step fail when the selection is empty, or invoke explicit test names.

Exercise the production signalReady, not a copy of it.
This test declares its own signalReady closure at Lines 347-352. It duplicates the select/default pattern from client/client.go Lines 273-278. The test therefore asserts on the copy.
If a future change removes the default: case in handleWSConnection, this test still passes. The test cannot fail for the regression that its comment describes.
Extract the reporter into a package-level helper and call it from both handleWSConnection and this test.
♻️ Proposed extraction
Add to client/client.go:
// newReadyReporter returns a non-blocking reporter for one socket.
// initializeClient drains ready exactly len(hosts) times and then abandons it,
// and the reconnect path re-enters handleWSConnection with fresh locals, so a
// blocking send would eventually park the goroutine before its read loop.
func newReadyReporter(ready chan connectResult, id int) func(error) {
return func(e error) {
select {
case ready <- connectResult{id: id, err: e}:
default:
}
}
}Then in handleWSConnection:
- signalReady := func(e error) {
- select {
- case ready <- connectResult{id: socket.ID, err: e}:
- default:
- }
- }
+ signalReady := newReadyReporter(ready, socket.ID)And in this test:
- signalReady := func(e error) {
- select {
- case ready <- connectResult{id: socket.ID, err: e}:
- default:
- }
- }
+ signalReady := newReadyReporter(ready, socket.ID)📝 Committable suggestion

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Read headerSlice widths under responseLock.
printHostAverages reads headerSlice[Local].width at Line 258 without holding responseLock. client/client.go Line 606 releases responseLock before calling this function at Line 607.
growHostColumns writes headerSlice[Local].width. client/table.go Lines 111-114 state that callers must hold responseLock for that write.
A concurrent writer can still be live at this point. keepAliveLoop also returns on the grace-period timeout (client/client.go Lines 468-472). On that path the per-host reader goroutines are not joined, and the deferred cancel() in RunTest has not run yet. A straggling reader that receives one more batch calls printAndCollectDataPoints -> growHostColumns and writes the same field. The result is an unsynchronized read/write on headerSlice[Local].width.
Capture the widths under the lock and pass them in, or take the lock inside printHostAverages.

Helm Chart.yaml version field SemVer leading v prefix allowed
💡 Result:
In Helm, the version field in Chart.yaml is expected to follow the Semantic Versioning (SemVer 2) standard [1][2][3]. While the documentation mentions that Helm may attempt to coerce certain formats (such as adding a missing patch version to a version like v1.2) into a valid semantic version [1][2], you should not include a leading v prefix in the version field [4][5]. The official guidance and community best practices strictly recommend against using a v prefix [4][5]. Although some underlying parsing logic in Helm may technically accept or attempt to normalize versions with a leading v, using them can cause significant issues with version range resolution, package management, and integration with other tools (such as OCI registries or automated update workflows like Flux) that expect strict SemVer compliance [4][6][5]. In summary, for compatibility and to avoid unexpected errors, you must use a standard SemVer 2 version string (e.g., 1.2.3) without a leading v prefix [4][5][2].

💡 Result:
In Helm, the version field within the Chart.yaml file is required and must follow the Semantic Versioning (SemVer) 2 standard [1][2]. While newer Helm documentation notes that adherence is not strictly enforced by the system, it remains a requirement for proper chart management and repository identification [1][3]. When you package a chart using the helm package command, Helm automatically uses the version specified in the Chart.yaml file as part of the resulting package's filename [2]. The resulting filename follows the format: chart-name-version.tgz For example, if your chart name is my-chart and the version in your Chart.yaml is 1.2.3, the resulting package filename will be my-chart-1.2.3.tgz [2]. The Helm system assumes that the version number found in the package filename matches the version number defined within the Chart.yaml file, and discrepancies can cause errors [2].

💡 Result:
In Helm, the version field in Chart.yaml is expected to follow the Semantic Versioning (SemVer) 2.0.0 standard [1][2][3]. While the documentation specifies this requirement, Helm historically has not strictly enforced strict SemVer compliance in all cases, sometimes attempting to "coerce" or interpret non-strict versions (such as those with a v prefix or missing minor/patch components like v1.2) into a valid format [4][5][3]. Regarding the v prefix and package filenames: 1. Handling of v prefix: While some Helm commands may tolerate a v prefix by coercing it into a standard SemVer format [3], this can lead to inconsistencies or errors in specific environments, such as OCI registries or when using strict validation tools [6][4]. It is generally recommended to use pure SemVer (e.g., 1.2.3) without the v prefix in the Chart.yaml version field to ensure compatibility across all Helm functionality [6][7][3]. 2. Package Filename: When you run the helm package command, Helm uses the version defined in Chart.yaml as a token in the resulting chart archive filename (typically in the format name-version.tgz) [1][8][3]. Because the system assumes the version in the package filename matches the version in the Chart.yaml, using non-standard versions can cause unexpected behavior or errors during installation or repository management [1][3]. In summary, although Helm may occasionally accept variations like a v prefix due to loose parsing, official best practices and consistent tool operation rely on strict adherence to the SemVer 2 standard without a v prefix [7][4][2].

Helm chart version leading v Chart.yaml "v1.2.3" accepted
💡 Result:
In a Helm Chart.yaml file, a version number with a leading "v" (e.g., v1.2.3) is generally not accepted or recommended [1][2][3][4]. Helm requires the version field in Chart.yaml to follow the Semantic Versioning (SemVer) 2.0.0 standard [5][6][7]. According to the official SemVer specification, a version number must take the form X.Y.Z [8]. A leading "v" prefix is not part of this specification and is treated as invalid by many Helm tools and ecosystem components [1][2][3][4]. Using a "v" prefix can lead to several technical issues: - OCI Registry Failures: When pushing charts to OCI registries, Helm expects tags to be strict SemVer [3][4]. A leading "v" can cause tools to fail to locate or pull the chart because the registry tag will not match the expected SemVer format [3][4]. - Tooling Incompatibility: GitOps and automation tools (e.g., Kargo, various Helm feeds) often rely on strict SemVer parsing and may fail to discover or process versions that include a "v" prefix [9][4]. - Validation Errors: Helm's internal code explicitly treats "v"-prefixed strings as invalid in several validation contexts [1]. While some specific tools or downstream consumers might add custom logic to strip a leading "v" to handle such cases [9], the best practice is to use "plain" SemVer (e.g., 1.2.3) in the Chart.yaml file to ensure full compatibility with the Helm ecosystem [2][3][4]. If your workflow requires "v"-prefixed tags (e.g., for Git tags or container image tags), it is recommended to keep those separate from the Chart.yaml version field [2][4].

Helm source chartutil ValidateMetadata semver NewVersion package chart Metadata Version filename
💡 Result:
In the Helm ecosystem, validating the version field in a chart's metadata is a critical step for ensuring compatibility with Semantic Versioning (SemVer) 2.0.0 [1][2][3]. Helm uses the semver package (typically the Masterminds/semver library in its Go codebase) to handle version parsing and validation [4][1]. The validation logic, often found in linting rules or metadata validation functions like validateChartVersion [4], typically employs semver.NewVersion() to parse the string provided in the Chart.yaml version field [4]. Key aspects of this validation include: 1. Semantic Versioning Enforcement: Helm requires the chart version to be a valid SemVer 2.0.0 string [2][5][3]. While historically some versions of Helm were more permissive, modern Helm (v3.5.2 and later) has become strictly more rigorous, often failing with errors if a provided version (such as a branch name) does not conform to the SemVer standard [6]. 2. Validation Logic: - NewVersion: This function is used to parse the version string [4]. It checks for adherence to the SemVer format [4]. - Constraints: Helm often checks against a minimum constraint, such as >0.0.0-0, to ensure the version is greater than zero [4]. - Strict Validation: In addition to standard parsing, some linting rules use semver.StrictNewVersion() to enforce stricter SemVer 2.0.0 compliance, rejecting strings that standard parsers might otherwise "fix" or accept loosely [4][1]. 3. Packaging and Filenames: When you run helm package, Helm uses the version string from Chart.yaml to generate the package filename (e.g., chartname-version.tgz) [5][3][7]. The system expects the version in the filename to match the version in Chart.yaml [5][3][7]. If validation fails during this process, Helm will reject the operation to maintain consistency [5][3][7]. 4. Metadata Management: Functions like SaveChartfile and LoadChartfile in chartutil manage the reading and writing of Chart.yaml [8]. These utilities ensure that the metadata is properly unmarshaled from YAML into the chart.Metadata struct, where the version field can then be validated by the linter or packaging tools [8]. In summary, semver.NewVersion() and semver.StrictNewVersion() serve as the core technical mechanisms for enforcing that charts maintain proper versioning, preventing invalid metadata from propagating through the repository index and ensuring that package filenames remain predictable and standard-compliant [4][1][9].

Reject glob metacharacters in the test ID.
testGlob only checks that the pattern stays inside basePath. It does not check the characters of id. An ID that contains *, ? or [ stays inside basePath and still expands.
hperf delete --id '*' therefore builds <basePath>/*.* and removes every saved test, not one test. The same ID makes streamTestFilesToWebsocket return every test on the host. The comment explains why shared.ValidateTestID is not applied to legacy IDs, but escaping the metacharacters keeps legacy IDs readable and removes the wildcard case.

Rename io_Copy_Discard and preserve non-EOF read errors.
stylecheck and revive are not enabled in .golangci.yml, so remove the linter claim. The underscore name remains non-idiomatic. Replace the loop with io.Copy(io.Discard, r.Body) and add the io import. This returns nil on EOF and preserves other read errors. Update the call at server/regress_test.go:370.

hperf was unreliable above a few dozen hosts, and several reported numbers were wrong in ways nothing surfaced. This fixes the defects, adds the average-throughput column, and adds CI gates so the concurrency work stays fixed.
Measured on a 4- and 8-node podman mesh throughout. Reported bytes match container NIC counters to within 0.5-0.9%, before and after.

Tests go from 9 functions to 33, each covering a specific defect. CI now lints, runs with
-race, and repeats the concurrency tests atGOMAXPROCS1 and 4 — these bugs pass a single clean run and fail the tenth.Worth knowing for review: ten distinct defects were found in this branch across six verification rounds, six of them regressions introduced by earlier fixes in the same work. The CI gates are there for that reason. Two areas have no integration coverage: the
