Now that the existing scripts are (hopefully) cleaned up and my POSIX

now adding a test case that exercises concurrency. The test case creates
and destroys 2 VMs concurrently as well as changes their referenced
filters in a tight loop. This kind of test previously uncovered

- deadlocks in libvirt due to lock-ordering in the nwfilter subsystem
- libvirt termination bug in libaugeas due to doubly closed file
descriptors and the side effects

All of these have been fixed recently.

The test script is known to run in bash, dash and ksh shells.

I'd use&&  instead of ; so that if the cd fails we don't try to run a
random file in the wrong directory.

I see some common patterns here with your other tck shell scripts :)

Would it be better to factor out some of this common initialization and
common script routines (such as tap_fail) into a single .sh file and
source that file up frong, rather than copying them into each driver?
Especially since if we fix a bug in one, we have to copy that fix to
multiple files at the moment?

At some point this could be done. Mostly the tap functions could be moved into a common file.

Should we try 'kill -2' rather than 'kill -9' to send a SIGINT and try
and allow the subprocesses a chance to gracefully clean up after
themselves rather than forcefully quitting?

Fine by me.

This seems very sensitive to timing measured on your machine.  Is there
any way to make it more robust, and less likely to fail on a much faster
or much slower machine?

Much slower machines would be a concern, or one that's extremely busy. Faster ones should not be a problem.

I also wasn't sure how to go about it and how to determine when a process really is stuck and let the test case fail. Theoretically one of the start-destroy processes could only go through a single 'cycle' and it's difficult to say then whether the test succeeded. Another possibility would be to require that each one of the start-destroy processes makes 5 cycles and then the test ends, independent of how long it takes.
