Subject: [[PATCH stalld] 26/33] tests: Reduce default wait timeouts
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 11:00:53 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520140104.112142-27-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520140104.112142-1-wander@redhat.com>
Failing tests currently hang for up to thirty seconds before reporting
a failure. Reduce the default wait timeouts in the stalld test helpers
to cut this failure reporting time in half. These timeouts only impact
the failure path since passing tests utilize event-driven waits that
return immediately upon matching a pattern.
Decrease the timeout from thirty to fifteen seconds for the starvation
and boost detection waits, their assertion wrappers, and the log match
helper. Reduce the stalld ready wait from fifteen to five seconds. The
new fifteen second limit provides adequate margin because all callers
relying on the default use thresholds of three to five seconds, making
detection take approximately nine seconds.
Override the timeout explicitly to twenty seconds for the third test in
test_boost_duration.sh. This specific caller uses a threshold of ten,
which makes the new fifteen second default too tight.
