The change introduced by commit a7c01fa93aeb ("signal: break out of wait loops on kthread_stop()") may cause dmatest aborts any ongoing tests and possible failure on the tests. The operations are as follows: modprobe hisi_dma modprobe dmatest echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations echo "dma0chan0" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel echo "dma0chan1" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel echo "dma0chan2" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run And the failed dmesg logs are: [52575.636992] dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan0 [52575.637555] dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan1 [52575.638044] dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma0chan2 [52581.020355] dmatest: Started 1 threads using dma0chan0 [52581.020585] dmatest: Started 1 threads using dma0chan1 [52581.020814] dmatest: Started 1 threads using dma0chan2 [52587.705782] dmatest: dma0chan0-copy0: result #57691: 'test \ timed out' with src_off=0xfe6 dst_off=0x89 len=0x1d9a (0) [52587.706527] dmatest: dma0chan0-copy0: summary 57691 tests, \ 1 failures 51179.98 iops 411323 KB/s (0) [52587.707028] dmatest: dma0chan1-copy0: result #63178: 'test \ timed out' with src_off=0xdf dst_off=0x6ab len=0x389e (0) [52587.707767] dmatest: dma0chan1-copy0: summary 63178 tests, \ 1 failures 62851.60 iops 503835 KB/s (0) [52587.708376] dmatest: dma0chan2-copy0: result #60527: 'test \ timed out' with src_off=0x10e dst_off=0x58 len=0x3ea4 (0) [52587.708951] dmatest: dma0chan2-copy0: summary 60527 tests, \ 1 failures 52403.78 iops 420014 KB/s (0) The test 57691 of dma0chan0-copy0 does not time out, it is the signal brought by kthread_stop() interrupted the function wait_event_freezable_timeout() waiting for test completing. The timeout log is misleading and the ongoing test can be completed if wait_event_freezable_timeout() is replaced by wait_event_timeout(). Signed-off-by: Jie Hai <haijie1@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: 1.
