Subject: [PATCH v2] selftests/futex: fix the failed futex_requeue test issue
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:33:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_B9DBF2ECBE56BAB68BDAB949C6935D01CE09@qq.com> (raw)

This test item has extremely high requirements for timing and can only
pass the test under specific conditions. The following situations will
lead to test failure:

    MainThread                  Thread1
        │
  pthread_create-------------------┐
        │                          │
 futex_cmp_requeue                 │
        │                     futex_wait
        │                          │

If the child thread is not waiting in the futex_wait function when the
main thread reaches the futex_cmp_requeue function, the test will fail.

This patch avoids this problem by checking whether the child thread is
in a sleeping state in the main thread.

v1->v2:
    1. Fix the issue of abnormal use of fscanf in the get_thread_state function
    2. Add timeout logic
