Subject: [PATCH v3 05/14] test/timer: scale test based on number of cores
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 16:50:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122005356.1168221-6-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260122005356.1168221-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
With large core system this would end up taking too long and
test would time out. Scale the number of timers based on
the number lcores available.
Fixes: 50247fe03fe0 ("test/timer: exercise new APIs in secondary process")
