** Description changed:
- == SRU [Disco][Eoan] ==
+ == SRU [Bionic][Disco][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.
