Hi Padraig,
I simplified it by using timeout(1), as you already suggested:
if [ "$CU_TEST_SKIP_EXIT" = 1 ]; then
# Pass on this variable into 'rm's environment.
skip_exit='CU_TEST_SKIP_EXIT=1'
fi
timeout --signal=KILL 2 \
env LD_PRELOAD=./k.so $skip_exit \
rm -rv --one-file-system "$@" > out 2> err
I also changed the other things you mentioned.
Finally, I had to pass --interactive=never to the last test to
avoid the "descend into write-protected directory?" prompt.
This is since rm has been executed in the background.
Next try attached.
Have a nice day,
Berny

Subject: [PATCH] tests: add a test for rm -r "/"
* tests/rm/r-root.sh: Add a non-root test.
* tests/local.mk (all_tests): Mention the test.
