Yes, it will hang. Feel free to send a patch with a timeout. > I don't think that such situation can occur in this particular test case > but if we had more activity (like function calls and some logic) before > execution of TST_CHECKPOINT_CHILD_WAIT in the child, we would have troubles. It's unlikely situation but it may happen. Generally any of the tests may hang (due to bug in libc or kernel for example) and ideally the test driver (ltp-pan currently) should watch for timeouts and kill such tests, which is not implemented currently. I'm working on replacement testdriver when my time allows, I have most of the major parts working and hope to have working prototype soon (hopefully till the end of the year). -- Cyril Hrubis chru...@suse.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
