Subject: [PATCH 0/4] test-ww_mutex: Miscellaneous fixes
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 14:13:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617121335.2036954-1-haakon.bugge@oracle.com> (raw)
This series fixes:
- module cleanup
- error propagation from stress workers
- transient -EDEADLK handling in test_cycle_work()
- timeout-related false negatives in stress_inorder_work()
The series is based on v7.1 and has been tested on a 96-CPU x86_64
bare-metal system and a 160-CPU arm64 bare-metal system. Both systems
completed 100 iterations of
tools/testing/selftests/locking/ww_mutex.sh successfully.
It is worth mentioning that the last patch retries up to 10,000 lock
acquisitions after timeout. This value was determined empirically: 10
and 100 retries were insufficient on the test systems, while 10,000
provided stable results and avoided false negatives.

test-ww_mutex: Fix module cleanup
test-ww_mutex: Report errors from stress workers
test-ww_mutex: Handle transient -EDEADLK in test_cycle_work
test-ww_mutex: Retry lock acquisition after timeout if deadlocked
