Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] check: add long aliases --iterate and --iterate-while-successful
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 01:09:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110170920.3302511-2-zlang@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110170920.3302511-1-zlang@kernel.org>
The -i and -I options iterate the whole test list, but their
single-letter names don't describe what they do. Add the long aliases
--iterate and --iterate-while-successful so that they can be named
consistently with the --loop family of per-test looping options that
will be added next.
