selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Add `--skip` argument option

2026-01-16T20:46:40Z

Currently the only way of excluding certain tests from a collection is by passing all the other tests explicitly via `--test`. Therefore, if the user wants to skip a single test the resulting command line might be too big, depending on the collection. Add an option `--skip` that takes care of that.

selftests/run_kselftest.sh: exit with error if tests fail

2025-11-19T22:00:22Z

Parsing KTAP is quite an inconvenience, but most of the time the thing you really want to know is "did anything fail"? Let's give the user the his information without them needing to parse anything. Because of the use of subshells and namespaces, this needs to be communicated via a file. Just write arbitrary data into the file and treat non-empty content as a signal that something failed. In case any user depends on the current behaviour, such as running this from a script with `set -e` and parsing the result for failures afterwards, add a flag they can set to get the old behaviour, namely --no-error-on-fail.

selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Use readlink if realpath is not available

2025-05-15T22:52:47Z

'realpath' is not always available, fallback to 'readlink -f' if is not available. They seem to work equally well in this context. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250318160510.3441646-1-yosry.ahmed@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Yosry Ahmed Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Fix help string for --per-test-log

2025-01-15T00:06:32Z

This is documented as --per_test_log but the argument is actually --per-test-log. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241220-per-test-log-v1-1-de5afe69fdf4@google.com Signed-off-by: Brendan Jackman Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

kselftest/runner.sh: add netns support

2023-12-23T00:26:32Z

Add a variable RUN_IN_NETNS if the user wants to run all the selected tests in namespace in parallel. With this, we can save a lot of testing time. Note that some tests may not fit to run in namespace, e.g. net/drop_monitor_tests.sh, as the dwdump needs to be run in init ns. I also added another parameter -p to make all the logs reported separately instead of mixing them in the stdout or output.log. Nit: the NUM in run_one is not used, rename it to test_num.

kselftests: Sort the collections list to avoid duplicate tests

2023-06-12T22:39:11Z

If the collections list is not sorted uniq doesn't weed out duplicate tests correctly. Make sure to sort it before running uniq. Signed-off-by: Rishabh Bhatnagar Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests: allow runners to override the timeout

2023-06-12T22:39:11Z

The default timeout for selftests tests is 45 seconds. Although we already have 13 settings for tests of about 96 sefltests which use a timeout greater than this, we want to try to avoid encouraging more tests to forcing a higher test timeout as selftests strives to run all tests quickly. Selftests also uses the timeout as a non-fatal error. Only tests runners which have control over a system would know if to treat a timeout as fatal or not. To help with all this: o Enhance documentation to avoid future increases of insane timeouts o Add the option to allow overriding the default timeout with test runners with a command line option Suggested-by: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain Reviewed-by: Muhammad Usama Anjum Tested-by:Muhammad Usama Anjum Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/run_kselftest.sh: fix dry-run typo

2020-11-10T21:51:39Z

Should be -d instead of -n for dry-run. Fixes: 5da1918446a1 ("selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Make each test individually selectable") Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

selftests/run_kselftest.sh: Make each test individually selectable

2020-10-07T13:59:15Z

Currently with run_kselftest.sh there is no way to choose which test we could run. All the tests listed in kselftest-list.txt are all run every time. This patch enhanced the run_kselftest.sh to make the test collections (or tests) individually selectable. e.g.: $ ./run_kselftest.sh -c seccomp -t timers:posix_timers -t timers:nanosleep Additionally adds a way to list all known tests with "-l", usage with "-h", and perform a dry run without running tests with "-n".

selftests: Extract run_kselftest.sh and generate stand-alone test list

2020-10-07T13:58:54Z

Instead of building a script on the fly (which just repeats the same thing for each test collection), move the script out of the Makefile and into run_kselftest.sh, which reads kselftest-list.txt. Adjust the emit_tests target to report each test on a separate line so that test running tools (e.g. LAVA) can easily remove individual tests (for example, as seen in [1]).
