Description

sanity-sec tests are passing, but there is are errors seen in the suite_log when setting the identity_upcall parameter. Looking at the logs at https://testing.whamcloud.com/test_sets/b76d7526-cf1b-11e9-98c8-52540065bddc , all tests pass, but it looks like ‘lctl set_param’ is failing when setting identity_upcall:

CMD: trevis-3vm6 lctl get_param -n mdt.lustre-MDT0000.identity_upcall
CMD: trevis-3vm6 lctl set_param -n mdt.lustre-MDT0000.identity_upcall "/usr/sbin/l_getidentity"
trevis-3vm6: error: set_param: setting /sys/fs/lustre/mdt/lustre-MDT0000/identity_upcall=/usr/sbin/l_getidentity: wrote only 1
CMD: trevis-3vm6 lctl set_param -n mdt/lustre-MDT0000/identity_flush=-1
