[linux-lvm] Running lvm2 regression tests

[Bruce Dubbs <bruce.dubbs@gmail.com>]

I am having a problem with building LVM2.2.02.155 from source.

Actually, the build is OK:

./configure --prefix=/usr       \
             --exec-prefix=      \
             --enable-applib     \
             --enable-cmdlib     \
             --enable-pkgconfig  \
             --enable-udev_sync

make
sudo make install

My problem comes when I try to run some checks:

sudo make -k check_local

In this case every test times out.  I killed the tests after two hours. 
The journal shows things like:

ndev-vanilla:api/dbustest.sh started
ndev-vanilla:api/dbustest.sh timeout

I have the following kernel settings in linux-4.4.2:

CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=y
CONFIG_MD_AUTODETECT=y
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID0=m
CONFIG_MD_RAID1=y
CONFIG_MD_RAID10=y
CONFIG_MD_RAID456=y
# CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH is not set
# CONFIG_MD_FAULTY is not set
CONFIG_BCACHE=m
CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_BCACHE_CLOSURES_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM_BUILTIN=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=m
CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_DM_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_DM_BUFIO=m
CONFIG_DM_BIO_PRISON=m
CONFIG_DM_PERSISTENT_DATA=m
CONFIG_DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING=y
CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=m
CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT=m
CONFIG_DM_THIN_PROVISIONING=m
CONFIG_DM_CACHE=m
CONFIG_DM_CACHE_MQ=m
CONFIG_DM_CACHE_SMQ=m
CONFIG_DM_CACHE_CLEANER=m
CONFIG_DM_ERA=m
CONFIG_DM_MIRROR=m
CONFIG_DM_LOG_USERSPACE=m
CONFIG_DM_RAID=m
CONFIG_DM_ZERO=m
# CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH is not set
# CONFIG_DM_DELAY is not set
CONFIG_DM_UEVENT=y
CONFIG_DM_FLAKEY=m
# CONFIG_DM_VERITY is not set
# CONFIG_DM_SWITCH is not set
# CONFIG_DM_LOG_WRITES is not set
...
# CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is not set

I do not have thin-provisioning-tools installed but I thought that was 
optional.

What am I missing?
