Subject: [PATCH i-g-t v5] lib/drmtest: Create proper error report when open driver fails
Date: Wed,  6 May 2026 18:09:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506160952.202178-1-kamil.konieczny@linux.intel.com> (raw)

When first try for opening driver fails then opening function is
searching for next available device. When that also fails
reporting is printing last errno which could mislead developer:

$ build/tests/kms_dp_aux_dev
IGT-Version: 2.3-NO-GIT (x86_64) (Linux: 6.17.0-19-generic x86_64)
Test requirement not met in function drm_open_driver, file ../lib/drmtest.c:754:
Test requirement: !(fd<0)
No known gpu found for chipset flags 0x4294965755 (any)
Last errno: 2, No such file or directory
SKIP (0.006s)

ls /dev/dri
by-path  card1  renderD128

The real problem here is lack of permissions as there was a card
but program could not open it. Break looking for a card as soon
as an error is different from ENOENT. It will create a proper
error report which will print:

Last errno: 13, Permission denied

v3: break only when errno actually happens in open() (Kamil)
v4: removed 'else', removed errno printing (Zbigniew)
v5: use explicit strerror() (Kamil)
