Change 9d2c9edd86943dfea399a0176826af8bb92bf97c introduces the new option of POSIX timer and makes MODE_CLOCK_NANOSLEEP the default choice. But there are two places explicitly set MODE_CLOCK_NANOSLEEP to the variable use_nanosleep in the code, so the actual value of the variable after parsing depends on the position of '-x' to '-U' and '-S'. These command pairs result in different values in the variable: 'cyclictest -S -x' VS 'cyclictest -x -S' 'cyclictest -U -x' VS 'cyclictest -x -U' This change ensures -x work regardless its position by removing the two lines in these cases. Signed-off-by: Jianxun Zhang <jianxun.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Note: This patch is submitted after a very limited test in its scope. No real RT test was performed. Maintainers may want to do a full test or a closer review for anything I missed. There are other findings regarding to the parsing logic but I don't think they are critical as long as the usage gives correct test results. I could amend these with more patches later.
