No timeout occurs.
FYI, I have poked around at init.c, and feel that somehow
fill_def_thread isn't doing its job when job files are not being used:
int parse_options(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int job_files, i;
f_out = stdout;
f_err = stderr;
fio_options_fill_optstring();
fio_options_dup_and_init(l_opts);
if (setup_thread_area())
return 1;
if (fill_def_thread())
return 1;
job_files = parse_cmd_line(argc, argv);
for (i = 0; i < job_files; i++) {
if (fill_def_thread())
return 1;
if (parse_jobs_ini(ini_file[i], i))
return 1;
free(ini_file[i]);
}
I think something is fishy here with the order of events (see
parse_cmd_line, which interprets the timeout, but fill_def_thread is
not called after that point unless there are job files). gdb seemed to
confirm that the value wasn't getting copied to the thread-local
memory. (I also did try the non-forked based backend to make sure it
wasn't some mechanism problem there, if memory serves).
