Commit Message

Tests in timers especially nsleep-lat, set-timer-lat,
inconsistency-check and raw_skew these 4 tests can take longer than
the default 45 seconds that introduced in commit 852c8cbf
(selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second timeout per test) to run.

Disable the timeout setting for timers instead of looking for an proper
value to make it more general.

Hi,

Michael recently posted a patch that adds the various selftest settings 
files to the TEST_FILES list, ensuring that they get copied to the 
install directory along with the tests:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20200220044241.2878-1-mpe@ellerman.id.au/

I think if you add that to the corresponding Makefile, you should be set.

Regards,

-- Joe

What happens when you disable this and set it to 0? How long does the
rest run in this case? Can you add the details to the change log please.

thanks,

Sure,
I will send V2 that include the change for makefile and more detail
about the change.
Thanks for the feedback,
