[PATCH v4 5/5] check: add -L <n> parameter to rerun failed tests

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



If check is run with -L <n>, then a failed test will be rerun <n> times
before proceeding to the next test. Following completion of the rerun
loop, aggregate pass/fail statistics are printed.

Rerun tests will be tracked as a single failure in overall pass/fail
metrics (via @try and @bad), with .out.bad, .dmesg, .core, .hints,
.notrun and .full saved using a .rerun# suffix.
