Subject: [PATCH] selftests: epoll: support KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW / KSFT_TIMEOUT_MUL
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:04:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828-selftest-epoll-timeout-v1-1-19d15c405d09@codasip.com> (raw)

In slow or emulated environments, the hardcoded 1-second watchdog
timeout in kill_timeout() can easily expire before threads finish
scheduling and processing events, causing spurious test failures.

Add support for KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW, which is already used in kselftest,
to increase the timeout multiplier to 10x (10 seconds). Furthermore,
allow KSFT_TIMEOUT_MUL to explicitly override the multiplier.
