If the goal is to have a low time timeout for "do not run tests past this time and do not fail if we stopped the test" then that seems to be likely one way to go and each test may need to be modified to not fail fatally in case of a special signal.

OK so do we use the existing timeout as a "optional, I don't want my test to take longer than this" or "if this test takes longer than this amount this is a fatal issue"? I ask because right now we can't override it even with an environment variable. If we had such support we can let test runners (like kdevops) use selftests with its own set of qualified / verified timeouts for the VMs it uses. For instance, Iw ant to soon start asking 0day to enable my kdevops 0-day tests for the subsystems I maintain, but I can't do that yet as the timeout is not correct. Luis

It isn't a fatal issue. So I wouldn't call it one. I would add a message saying test timed out. One way to handle this is: - Add a test run-time option and have user tune it as needed. Make the timeout an option so users can set it based on their environments. > > I ask because right now we can't override it even with an environment > variable.

This test isn't part of the default run, so day has to run this as a special case and it would make prefect sense to provide a tunable timeout option. thanks, -- Shuah > > Luis

That's the thing, I *want* it to be part of *my runs* for my git trees on git.kernel.org for modules-testing and modules-next. That allows me to have 0day run whatever things I need. Long term it will be through kdevops with just: make linux make selftests-kmod make kmod make kmod-check Vincenzo expressed interest to help, I think he may be interested in helping with this configurable timeout for selftests as some initial low hanging fruit. Then on the kdevops front we'd set what we know is right for a typical libvirt use case for our current default VM target. Luis

The default sefltests timeout is 45 seconds. If you run the kmod selftests on your own with say: ./tools/testings/selftests/kmod.sh Then the default timeout won't be in effect. I've never ran kmod selftests using the generic make wrapper (./tools/testing/selftests/run_kselftest.sh -s) util now that I have support for it on kdevops [0]. And with that the test is limitted to the default timeout which we quickly run into. Bump this up to what I see is required on 8GiB / 8 vcpu libvirt q35 guest as can be easily created now with kdevops. To run selftests with kdevops: make menuconfig # enable dedicated selftests and kmod test make make bringup make linux make selftests-kmod This ends up taking about 280 seconds now, give or take add 50 seconds more more and we end up with 350.
