Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ima_violations.sh: ima_mmap.c: Replace sleep with checkpoints
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:10:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428161034.947614-2-pvorel@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428161034.947614-1-pvorel@suse.cz>
Using checkpoints is a proper way in LTP new API [1] to avoid races and
waste of time. It reduces 3 sec sleep in ima_mmap.c and 1 sec sleep in
ima_violations.sh with just checkpoints.
NOTE: tst_reinit() is really needed instead of .needs_checkpoints = 1
as documented in Shell-Test-API.asciidoc.

Fixes: 0e4cbf753f ("security/ima: Rewrite tests into new API + fixes")
