Hi,

Are there any options to runltp or any other means to just run the kernel syscall tests? How long does it take to run the runalltests.sh on an i386/x86_64 machine?

Appreciate any inputs in this regard,

SK

runltp -f syscalls

Varies depending on the speed of the machine and other factors.

I'm curious - what exactly do people find they can run reliably with no
hangs on a known good system?  On ec2 instances I find even runltp -f
syscalls to hang.  I know, I know :)  I do intend to look into it.  But
is there anything people find they can use as a gross "this works on good
kernel, let's see if it breaks on test kernel" metric?

That is probably sched_yield() testcase, the culprit is writing to
stderr while plaing the ping pong with sched_yield() which would make
the disk writing thread lock (not really kernel bug as the test blocked
all cpus but one which on which it plays ping pong with sched_yield()).
At least it locks with some older kernels. I will commit a patch that
just removes useless printf().

You can save a lot of time (hours) if you omit the aio testcases, these
are submitting a lot of aio requests moving gigabytes of data back and
forth.
