[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 08/16] ktest.pl: Avoid false positives with grub2 skip regex

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2351e8c65404aabc433300b6bf90c7a37e8bbc4d ]

Some distros have grub2 config files with the lines

    if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
      menuentry_id_option="--id"
    else
      menuentry_id_option=""
    fi

which match the skip regex defined for grub2 in get_grub_index():

    $skip = '^\s*menuentry';

These false positives cause the grub number to be higher than it
should be, and the wrong kernel can end up booting.

Grub documents the menuentry command with whitespace between it and the
title, so make the skip regex reflect this.
