[LTP] [PATCH] [RFC] lib/tst_test.c: Fix tst_brk() handling

Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz
Fri Nov 15 17:41:01 CET 2024


This makes the tst_brk() handling cleaner and saner as instead of
propagating the tst_brk() result in a return value an abort flag is
introduced into the shared memory.

Now:

- All the processes but the library one that reports the results exit
  with 0
- tst_brk(TBROK, ...) increments result conters, sets the abort flag.
  and exit current process
- all other tst_brk() variants will just increments the countes and
  exits the current process

This makes the tst_brk() behavior well defined so we can now even call
tst_brk() with TFAIL and TPASS as well.

Open question (may be done in a separatep patch):

Should tst_brk(TBROK, ...) apart from setting the flag also send sigkill
signal to the test process group to kill any leftover test processes?

  *
  * When test is in cleanup() function TBROK is converted into TWARN by the test

  * called. This makes it possible to use SAFE_FOO() macros in the test cleanup
  * without interrupting the cleanup process on a failure.
