Description

teuthology-suite doesn't currently respect the -k option, which is supposed to override the kernel used in testing. To reproduce:

teuthology-suite  --machine-type smithi -p 50 --suite fs:thrash -k wip-fscrypt --force-priority   -l 16

The resulting kernels used in the test will end up being a mix of the one specified via -k and distro kernels. Ilya mentioned this in a private email thread:

I think this is because the fs suite supplies overrides for the kernel
task.  I never liked that idea precisely because it makes any debugging
harder than it should be.  OTOH when everything works it results in all
kernels being covered by a single test run.

I don't really care what happens when -k isn't specified to teuthology-suite, but when it is specified it should be used universally.
