Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] selftests: net: py: add cmd info for ksft_wait failure
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:26:33 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223202633.4126087-4-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260223202633.4126087-1-kuba@kernel.org>

Gal recently complained:

  When [ksft_wait failure] happens, the test fails with a cryptic
  message:
    # Exception| Exception: Did not receive ready message

Let's try to include the stdout/stderr of the command we tried
to start. E.g. for cmd("false", ksft_wait=True):

    # Exception| lib.py.utils.CmdInitFailure: Did not receive ready message
    # Exception| CMD: false
    # Exception|   EXIT: 1

We need to factor out _process_terminate() otherwise the exit
path may try to write to already disconnected self.ksft_term_fd.
