Re: [I-G-T 3/3] igt/gem_mocs_settings: Reduce the amount of cascading failures

They do run separately. It's just that when one fails it does not close the fd and the next cannot open it as master.
Is there a mechanism for closing the fd (or any other tidy up on close.failure).

As the test runner implements a psudo exception handler it should really have a "final"/"skip" handler so that the tidyup can be done cleanly.

That was the question that was asked and not answered.

Peter.

For a real test runner you need to run each individual subtest separate (to avoid contamination). Then process exit will take care of any cleanup needed with file descriptors. For anything else there's exit handlers, but they're not 100% reliable

Adding hacks to make subtest runs differently isn't really how igt tests are meant to be. Hence I concure on Chris' objection here.
