Hi Milosz,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually let me explain you the situation in detail.
I wanted to implement software update testing in LAVA. Below is the job definition for this.
device_type: qemu job_name: qemu x86_64 software update testing timeouts: job: minutes: 20 action: minutes: 10 actions: power-off: seconds: 60 priority: high visibility: personal notify: criteria: status: finished recipients:

If the reboot after successful swupdate does not cause any kernel panic, then the reboot is working fine, I am able to see the persistent changes in the root file system and no matter how many reboot i explicitly trigger in the job definition, i am not facing any issue.
Do you boot without a login prompt after sw update? Job log would help understand what is happening.
But the problem here is, in case if the swupdate actually leads to a kernel-panic situation during reboot, then after 60s of watchdog timeout, a reboot is triggered by the watchdog as I mentioned earlier. Even then I have found no issues in booting kernel, setting up of all services and root file system, but the auto login failed because all the actions I have written after the watchdog reboot are not working.
I wrote this before - LAVA doesn't like the board being rebooted without LAVA's "help". So if you reboot as a part of your test and it requires logging in, you need to implement it somehow in your test. I've no idea if it's even possible.
So do you think this can be fixed on LAVA side or is this something LAVA is not ready to support ?
It's not a bug, it's by design. LAVA doesn't allow for the reboot in the middle of the test. Best you can do is to poweroff and let lava boot up using "boot" action.
Is some work going on LAVA development side to fix this issue ? In case if you are have no info on this, do you think asking this in lava-dev mailing list might help ?
IMHO it's unlikely you get any other answer in the lava-dev as the crowd there is basically the same as here.
