From 961d9caceea2d5350a15c17b7d3ffc24c08c9b09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 19:52:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ktest: Add BISECT_TRIES to bisect test For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success. Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds, it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat reliable. You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL. Suggested-by: "Paul E.
