** Description changed:
- Issue found on Power9 node baltar with B-5.3
- (5.3.0-41.33~18.04.1-generic)
+ == SRU Justification ==
+ Some specific tests in powerpc can take longer than the default 45
+ seconds that added in commit 852c8cbf34d3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh:
+ Add 45 second timeout per test") to run, the following test result was
+ collected across 2 Power8 nodes and 1 Power9 node in our pool:
+ powerpc/benchmarks/futex_bench - 52s
+ powerpc/dscr/dscr_sysfs_test - 116s
+ powerpc/signal/signal_fuzzer - 88s
+ powerpc/tm/tm_unavailable_test - 168s
+ powerpc/tm/tm-poison - 240s
- # selftests: benchmarks: futex_bench
- # test: futex_bench
- # tags: git_version:unknown
- # time = 52.042224
- #
- not ok 5 selftests: benchmarks: futex_bench # TIMEOUT
+ Thus they will fail with TIMEOUT error.
+ == Fix ==
+ * 850507f3 ("selftests/powerpc: Turn off timeout setting for benchmarks,
dscr, signal, tm")
- # selftests: dscr: dscr_sysfs_test
- # test: dscr_sysfs_test
- # tags: git_version:unknown
- #
- not ok 6 selftests: dscr: dscr_sysfs_test # TIMEOUT
+ Only Eoan and newer kernel contain 852c8cbf34d3, this patch can be
+ applied to Eoan with some context adjustment. For Focal, there is a
+ SAUCE patch which turned off timeout setting for benchmarks and tm.
+
+ == Test ==
+ Patch tested on PowerPC and it works as expected.
+
+ == Regression Potential ==
+ Low, changes limited to testing tools for PowerPC.
+
+ == Original Bug Report ==
+ Issue found on Power9 node baltar with B-5.3 (5.3.0-41.33~18.04.1-generic)
+
+ # selftests: benchmarks: futex_bench
+ # test: futex_bench
+ # tags: git_version:unknown
+ # time = 52.042224
+ #
+ not ok 5 selftests: benchmarks: futex_bench # TIMEOUT
+
+ # selftests: dscr: dscr_sysfs_test
+ # test: dscr_sysfs_test

Need to check if this has something to do with the timeout setting like
in bug 1864626
