[LTP] [PATCH 0/3] LTP_TIMEOUT for shell API

[LTP] [PATCH 0/3] LTP_TIMEOUT for shell API

[Petr Vorel]

Hi,

patchset replaces LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL for shell and C [1]
and memcg_stress_test.sh timeout fix [2].

It's also related to Clements fix for TST_RETRY_FN() and tst_adjust_timeout().

Kind regards,
Petr

[LTP] [PATCH 2/3] shell: Introduce LTP_TIMEOUT variable

[Petr Vorel]

to unify shell API with C API.

LTP_TIMEOUT should be set in tests only, it's equivalent of
tst_test->timeout in C API.

+ add checks requiring both LTP_TIMEOUT and LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL >= 1,
that allow to set LTP_TIMEOUT lower than the default 300 sec
(might be useful for some case).
LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL can be float, but that adds awk as a dependency.

+ replace LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL in memcg_stress_test.sh with LTP_TIMEOUT.

+ document both variables.

Good point, it should have been
tst_is_num "$TST_TIMEOUT" || err=1

And I omit to grep TIMEOUT" in tst_run() in tst_test.s.

Sorry, s/LTP_TIMEOUT/TST_TIMEOUT in docs and tests. Will be in v2.

PS: please snip the unrelated content in long patches like this one
(easier to read in both mail and patchwork).

[LTP] [PATCH 3/3] net/if-mtu-change.sh: set LTP_TIMEOUT

[Petr Vorel]

The default setup (100 * 5 seconds just for sleep) is longer than default timeout.
30 sec for each iteration should be more than enough as a default.

Fixes: fbea02ab5 ("lib/tst_test.sh: setup timeout per test run for the shell tests")

   ^
   TST_TIMEOUT

At least I would go with TST_ instead of LTP_ as the prefix TST_ means
for me Libray and LTP_ user. This apply to some other places of this
patchset.

Good point. Metan, do we want TST_TIMEOUT for library and LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL for
user? That's a bit strange, but I'd be for it.
LTP_* is for user to define (that's actually not true for tst_net.sh)
and TST_* for test definitions in script.

Kind regards,
Petr
