Subject: [PATCH 2/9] rtla/tests: Add get_workload_pids() helper
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:05:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423130558.882022-3-tglozar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260423130558.882022-1-tglozar@redhat.com>

RTLA runtime tests that check workload processes (currently the test
case "verify -P/--priority" of timerlat.t and "verify the --priority/-P
param" of osnoise.t) use "pgrep timerlatu/" or "pgrep osnoise/"
respectively to identify the workload.

Make them more robust by adding a get_workload_pids() helper that
finds the main rtla process and returns the PIDs of all siblings other
than the test script itself, plus all child processes of kthreadd that
have the osnoise/timerlat kthread pattern comm.

This filters out any spurious processes not related to the running test
that happen to have "timerlatu/" or "osnoise/" in their command, for
example, a user grepping the same names at the time of the running of
the test.
