From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> On 6.7-rc2, I've noticed that this test hangs unpredictably because the stat loop fails to exit. While the kill $loop_pid command /should/ take care of it, it clearly isn't. Set up an additional safety factor by checking for the existence of a sentinel flag before starting the loop body. In bash, "[" is a builtin so the loop should run almost as tightly as it did before. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
