Subject: [PATCH mptcp-next 1/4] selftests: mptcp: join: properly kill background tasks
Date: Sat, 08 Nov 2025 15:20:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251108-slft-timeout-stats-v1-1-c2234d277318@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251108-slft-timeout-stats-v1-0-c2234d277318@kernel.org>
The 'run_tests' function is executed in the background, but killing its
associated PID would not kill the children tasks running in the
background.
To properly kill all background tasks, 'kill -- -PID' could be used, but
this requires kill from procps-ng. Instead, all children tasks are
listed using 'ps', and 'kill' is called with all PIDs of this group.
Fixes: 31ee4ad86afd ("selftests: mptcp: join: stop transfer when check is done (part 1)")
Fixes: 04b57c9e096a ("selftests: mptcp: join: stop transfer when check is done (part 2)")
