Adds UnifiedMessage support for NetworkPPSPerformanceMessage by following the established pattern from NetworkTCPPerformanceMessage and NetworkUDPPerformanceMessage implementations.

Overview

The NetworkPPSPerformanceMessage class was creating traditional performance messages but wasn't sending individual unified performance messages for each metric, unlike other network performance message types. This PR adds unified message support to ensure PPS (Packets Per Second) metrics are reported in the same unified format as TCP and UDP metrics.

Changes Made

1. lisa/tools/sar.py

Added send_pps_unified_perf_messages() method that:

  • Sends individual UnifiedPerfMessage instances for each PPS metric
  • Covers all PPS metrics: rx_pps, tx_pps, and rx_tx_pps (minimum, average, maximum)
  • Uses MetricRelativity.HigherIsBetter for all performance metrics
  • Uses metric_str_value field to store the string test_type parameter
  • Uses "packets/second" as the unit for all metrics
  • Properly typed metrics list to avoid mypy errors

Updated create_pps_performance_messages() to call the unified message method before returning the original message, maintaining backward compatibility.

2. lisa/microsoft/testsuites/dpdk/dpdkperf.py

Added _send_pps_unified_perf_messages() method that:

  • Follows the same pattern but adapted for DPDK test structure
  • Conditionally sends metrics based on what's present in result_fields
  • Uses metric_str_value field to store string parameters (test_type and role)
  • Supports protocol_type parameter for proper message categorization

Updated test methods to send unified messages:

  • perf_dpdk_send_only_failsafe_pmd()
  • perf_dpdk_send_only_netvsc_pmd()
  • _create_pps_performance_results()

3. Integration with metric_str_value

After rebasing onto the latest main branch (which includes support for metric_str_value in UnifiedPerfMessage), the implementation now:

  • Stores string parameters (test_type, role) directly in the metric_str_value field
  • Uses default value from UnifiedPerfMessage dataclass for metric_value when dealing with string parameters
  • Stores float/numeric performance values in metric_value field
  • Eliminates the need for hash conversion or type ignore comments
  • Provides proper representation of string parameters in the unified metrics system

Design Pattern

The implementation follows the exact pattern from send_ntttcp_tcp_unified_perf_messages() and send_ntttcp_udp_unified_perf_messages():

  1. Create a list of metric dictionaries with name, value, unit, str_value (for strings), and relativity
  2. Iterate over metrics and call send_unified_perf_message() for each
  3. Use MetricRelativity.Parameter with metric_str_value for string parameters (without explicit value)
  4. Use MetricRelativity.HigherIsBetter with metric_value for performance metrics
  5. Maintain backward compatibility by keeping original message creation

Example Usage

Before this change, only the aggregated NetworkPPSPerformanceMessage was sent:

message = create_perf_message(NetworkPPSPerformanceMessage, ...)
return message

After this change, both unified messages and the original message are sent:

# Send individual unified performance messages
self.send_pps_unified_perf_messages(result_fields, test_case_name, test_type, test_result)

# Still send the original aggregated message for backward compatibility
message = create_perf_message(NetworkPPSPerformanceMessage, ...)
return message

This allows each PPS metric to be tracked individually in the unified performance tracking system while maintaining compatibility with existing code that expects the traditional message format.

Testing

  • ✅ flake8: No errors
  • ✅ mypy: Zero errors in modified files (type errors fixed)
  • ✅ syntax: All files compile correctly
  • ✅ imports: All imports work correctly
  • ✅ Successfully synced with latest main branch

@copilot fix check errors.

Fixed in commit f8c9e48. Removed unused Union import from both files to resolve flake8 F401 errors. All checks (flake8, mypy, isort, pylint) now pass.

- Changed test_type and role to use metric_str_value field
- Set metric_value to 0.0 as placeholder for Parameter metrics
- Pass metric_str_value parameter to send_unified_perf_message()
- String values go to metric_str_value, float values go to metric_value

Use default value for string type parameters instead of explicitly setting value to 0.0. The UnifiedPerfMessage dataclass already has a default value of 0.0 for metric_value.

* Revert "skip test if hv_netvsc driver is not used"

This reverts commit f6fdcf7.

* change kselftest required /tmp/ size to 1GB for Overlake SoC limited space

* Add enabled switch for environments and nodes

This change introduces an `enabled` boolean field
at both the environment and node levels, allowing
selective loading of configurations through
runbook variables.

Example:
  environment:
    - name: my_env
      enabled: $(use_first_env)  # Variable-controlled
      nodes:
        - type: local
          name: node1
          enabled: true
        - type: local
          name: node2
          enabled: false  # Skip this node

* Process: Raise exception on timeout. (#4077)

* Skip tests on L1VH Nodes (#4078)

* mshv: skip checking logfile size on l1vh

L1VH parents by default don't have any entries in mshvlog file. Skip
checking logfile size on these nodes.

* mshv: skip mshvtrace test on l1vh Nodes

L1VH nodes cannot collect performance traces. Skip the related test
on the L1VH nodes.

* Classify /bin/true redirections in kernel modules as not loaded

Previously, `is_module_loaded` returned True (loaded) when `modprobe -nv`
produced a blacklist directive like 'install /bin/true', causing test
cases like verify_floppy_module_is_blacklisted although module was not
actually loaded.

Added a minimal check for the install /bin/true pattern and now treat it
as not loaded, returning False.
