Tests under alignment subdirectory are skipped when executed on previous generation hardware, but harness still marks them as failed. test: test_copy_unaligned tags: git_version:unknown [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26 skip: test_copy_unaligned selftests: copy_unaligned [FAIL] The MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE value assigned to rc variable is retained till the program exit which causes the test to be marked as failed. This patch resets the value before returning to the main() routine. With this patch the test o/p is as follows: test: test_copy_unaligned tags: git_version:unknown [SKIP] Test skipped on line 26 skip: test_copy_unaligned selftests: copy_unaligned [PASS] Signed-off-by: Sachin Sant <sachinp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- diff -Naurp a/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/harness.c b/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/harness.c --- a/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/harness.c 2017-02-19 16:34:00.000000000 -0600 +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/harness.c 2017-02-22 23:53:44.347242893 -0600 @@ -114,9 +114,11 @@ int test_harness(int (test_function)(voi rc = run_test(test_function, name); - if (rc == MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE) + if (rc == MAGIC_SKIP_RETURN_VALUE) { test_skip(name); - else + /* so that skipped test is not marked as failed */ + rc = 0; + } else test_finish(name, rc); return rc; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kselftest" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
