Subject: ktest.pl: Add RUN_TIMEOUT option with default unlimited
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4e7d2a8f0b52abf23b1dc13b3d88bc0923383cd5 upstream.
There is a disconnect between the run_command function and the
wait_for_input. The wait_for_input has a default timeout of 2 minutes. But
if that happens, the run_command loop will exit out to the waitpid() of
the executing command. This fails in that it no longer monitors the
command, and also, the ssh to the test box can hang when its finished, as
it's waiting for the pipe it's writing to to flush, but the loop that
reads that pipe has already exited, leaving the command stuck, and the
test hangs.
Instead, make the default "wait_for_input" of the run_command infinite,
and allow the user to override it if they want with a default timeout
option "RUN_TIMEOUT".
But this fixes the hang that happens when the pipe is full and the ssh
session never exits.
