This series introduces 2 new features, central fsconfig support and "-q <n>" option to support unconditional looping. Along with this, it also brings some improvements to output data both, in stdout and in result.log. Central fsconfig feature allows us to define MKFS and MOUNT options for different filesystems and use this central config to invoke any test. We don't need to maintain different sections in local.config file for different mkfs and mount options of any given FS. e.g. ./check -c configs/xfs/4k,configs/ext4/1k -g quick Central fsconfigs can be useful for below reasons:- 1. Testers and other FS developers can know what is being actively tested and maintained by FS Maintainers. 2. It "reduces" the need to maintain different local.config files or different sections within local.config file for subsystem maintainers for testing different filesystem configurations. -q <n> option can be useful for fast unconditional looping (compared to -I <n>) to test a certain flakey test and get it's pass/fail metrics. This is similar to -L <n>, although with -L the test only loops if it fails the 1st time. The individual patches can provide more details about other changes and improvements. This is something that was discussed during last LSFMM [1] [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/87h6h4sopf.fsf@xxxxxxx/ Nirjhar Roy (IBM) (5): tests/selftest: Add a new pseudo flaky test. check: Add -q <n> option to support unconditional looping. check: Improve pass/fail metrics and section config output check,common/config: Add support for central fsconfig configs: Add a couple of xfs and ext4 configuration templates.
