Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] selftests: net: pass bpftrace timeout to cmd()
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 21:21:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308192126.2490631-2-gal@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260308192126.2490631-1-gal@nvidia.com>
The bpftrace() helper configures an interval based exit timer but does
not propagate the timeout to the cmd object, which defaults to 5
seconds. Since the default BPFTRACE_TIMEOUT is 10 seconds, cmd.process()
always raises a TimeoutExpired exception before bpftrace has a chance to
exit gracefully.
Pass timeout+5 to cmd() to allow bpftrace to complete gracefully.
Note: this issue is masked by a bug in the way cmd() passes timeout,
this is fixed in the next commit.
Fixes: 3c561c547c39 ("selftests: drv-net: add helper/wrapper for bpftrace")
