Subject: [PATCH 5/6] selftests: Preserve subtarget failures in all/install
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 15:29:20 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320-selftests-fixes-v1-5-79144f76be01@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320-selftests-fixes-v1-0-79144f76be01@suse.com>
Track failures explicitly in the top-level selftests all/install loops.
The current code multiplies `ret` by each sub-make exit status. For
example, with `TARGETS=net`, the implicit `net/lib` dependency runs after
`net`, so a failed `net` build can be followed by a successful `net/lib`
build and reset the final result to success.
Set `ret` to 1 on any non-zero sub-make exit code and keep it sticky, so
the top-level make returns failure when any selected selftest target
fails.
