Hi Feng, after reading your test I *think* I got the idea. You want to
put some heavy load on the system, quit the VM through a monitor
command and then we pray for it to not segfault during the process.
However:
1) Using autotest in the background to generate the high load
certainly seems overkill. I'd say to use a rather standard shell one
liner to generate the load, put it to run in background, and that is
it.
2) In no moment this test actually issues a 'quit' through monitor
3) When sending 'quit' is implemented, then if the VM segfaults the
crash handler will pick up the core dump
So, please simplify the test removing the function that forks autotest
and runs it on background, actually send quit through the monitor,
give it a good round of testing and then send it again. I am still not
100% convinced of the usefulness of the test, but it's worth a try.
