Hanging is very bad obviously.
Both these tests use the following (pipe to paste):
zc_syscalls='io_uring_setup io_uring_enter io_uring_register memfd_create
sendfile splice tee vmsplice'
syscalls=$(
for s in $zc_syscalls; do
strace -qe "$s" true >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "$s"
done | paste -s -d,)
It sounds like the strace is hanging?
Does adding a "timeout 10" on front of the strace avoid the hang?
I wonder could we add any protections to uses_strace_ in init.cfg
cheers,
