The watchdog selftest script supports various parameters for testing
different IOCTLs. The watchdog ping functionality is validated by starting
a loop where the watchdog device is periodically pet, which can only be
stopped by the user interrupting the script.
This results in a timeout when running this test using the kselftest runner
with no non-oneshot parameters (or no parameters at all):
TAP version 13
1..1
# timeout set to 45
# selftests: watchdog: watchdog-test
# Watchdog Ticking Away!
# .............................................#
not ok 1 selftests: watchdog: watchdog-test # TIMEOUT 45 seconds
To address this issue, the first patch in this series limits the loop to 5
iterations by default and adds support for a new '-c' option to customize
the number of pings as required.
The second patch conforms the test output to the KTAP format.
Laura Nao (2):
selftests/watchdog: limit ping loop and allow configuring the number
of pings
selftests/watchdog: convert the test output to KTAP format
