** Project changed: stress-ng => stress-ng (Ubuntu)
** Also affects: stress-ng (Ubuntu Eoan)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
+ == SRU [Eoan] ==
+
stress-ng --timer 1 --timer-freq 100000 --timer-slack -t 1 runs for a
whole day and not 1 second. The timer-slack option eats the -t1 arg
because it is defined as having an arg when in fact it is a zero arg
option.
+
+ == Fix ==
+
+ Upstream fix (in Focal):
+
+ commit e044133ed6ebdbac16775d8ae0d130bc2dac96ea
+ Author: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>
+ Date: Mon Nov 25 12:05:30 2019 +0000
+
+ Fix --timer-slack from consuming the following arg (LP: #1853832)
+
+ == Test ==
+
+ stress-ng --timer 1 --timer-freq 100000 --timer-slack -t 1
+
+ Without the fix, this will run by default for 24 hours. With the fix
+ the -t option is parsed and it will run for 1 second as intended.
+
+ == Regression Potential ==
+
+ This is a one line arg parsing change so change set is really limited to
+ this one --timer-slack option. Users may find the behaviour now changes
+ because it no longer consumes the next arg and hence the next arg works
+ and hence changes functionality.
