Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] selftests/cgroup: Make the object directory an order-only prerequisite
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 08:19:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922071945.693714-3-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922071945.693714-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>
libcgroup.mk names $(LIBCGROUP_O_DIRS) as a regular prerequisite of
cgroup_util.o. The directory's mtime moves whenever an object is
created or replaced in it, so an incremental KVM selftests build that
rebuilt anything in lib/ recompiles cgroup_util.o and relinks every
test on the following run. Make the directory order-only, as
libvfio.mk does.
Fixes: 2c754a84ff16a ("cgroup: selftests: Move cgroup_util into its own library")
