Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Fix dmesg ignore regexes with backslash escapes
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 21:05:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007210603.1350158-1-shuicheng.lin@intel.com> (raw)
igt_emit_ignore_dmesg_regex() passes the regex to igt_runner through
/dev/kmsg, and the kernel escapes '\' as "\x5c" in kmsg records. Since
resultgen compiles the ignore regex from the escaped record, any regex
using a backslash escape, such as "\(-ECANCELED\)", silently never
matches. As a result, the expected errors in
xe_exec_reset@gt-reset-fault-injection are reported as dmesg-warn.
Patches 1-3 fix the affected tests by using bracket expressions instead
of backslash escapes, so they work with the current igt_runner:
- xe_exec_reset: "\(" never matches, the expected GT reset failure and
wedge errors leak.
- xe_wedged: besides the CAT error escapes (and a missing space), the
patterns no longer match the SIGID-based messages that newer kernels
use for the GT reset failure and wedge.
- xe_fault_injection: "\*ERROR\*" only matches by accident, as it
degrades to "ERROR" with optional backslashes around it.
Patch 4 fixes igt_runner itself by decoding the kmsg escapes before
compiling the ignore regex, so future regexes can use backslash escapes
as written.
Tested on BMG with drm-tip: the expected errors are no longer reported
for xe_exec_reset@gt-reset-fault-injection and
xe_wedged@{basic-wedged,wedged-at-any-timeout}, and
the new igt_runner also ignores them with the unfixed xe_exec_reset.
