[Qemu-devel] [kvm-unit-tests PATCH 0/2] run_tests: support concurrent test execution

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

run_tests.sh is getting slower. Maybe it's time to let it run faster.
An obvious issue is that, we were running the tests sequentially in
the past.

This series provides another new "-j" parameter. "-j 8" means we run
the tests on 8 task queues. That'll fasten the script a lot. A very
quick test of mine shows 3x speed boost with 8 task queues.

Most of the changes are in scripts/tash.bash of patch 2, which
implemented the main logic for task managements. Please see commit
message for more information.

I did a quick "make standalone" test to make sure this series won't
break it. However I am not sure whether it'll break other thing that I
don't know...

Please kindly review, thanks.

  run_tests: provide RUNTIME_log_file
  run_tests: allow run tests in parallel
