[ovs-dev] [PATCH 1/7] ovsdb raft: Sync commit index to followers without delay.

[Ben Pfaff]

Thanks for the series.  I'd like to commit it.

The problems with the resources needed by the tests are still there.
When I run with TESTSUITEFLAGS=-j10 and I have swap enabled on my
system, the system loses interactive response for a couple of minutes as
it thrashes.  When I run with TESTSUITEFLAGS=-j10 and I don't have swap
enabled on my system, the OOM killer takes out Firefox.  (I have 32 GB
RAM.)  When I run with -j1 (the default), the testsuite takes much
longer.

Here is an idea: we can put the raft tests in a new testsuite.  We
already have a number of them.  It could be invoked as "make
check-raft", for example.  Then this testsuite could be run with lower
parallelism since the individual tests are so resource heavy.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Ben.
