Andrea Cervesato
andrea.cervesato@suse.de
Thu Sep 10 10:33:48 CEST 2026
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Fix the kernel-doc formatting in include/tst_common.h and include
both tst_common.h and tst_cpu.h in the C API reference documentation.

- * This macro will call @FUNC in a loop with a delay between retries.
- * If ECHCK(ret) evaluates to non-zero, the loop ends. The delay between
- * retries starts at one microsecond and is then doubled each iteration until
- * it exceeds one second (the total time sleeping will be approximately one
- * second as well). When the delay exceeds one second, the loop will end.

+ * This macro will call @FUNC in a loop with an exponential delay between

+ * starts at one microsecond and doubles each iteration until it exceeds
+ * one second (scaled by tst_multiply_timeout()). When the maximum delay
+ * is exceeded, the loop ends.

+ * Return: The last value returned by @FUNC.
