Test 039 used to fail because qemu-io -c abort may generate core dumps even with ulimit -c 0 (and the output then contains "(core dumped)"). Fix this by adding a new qemu-io command "sigraise" which invokes raise(). Using this command to raise SIGKILL for example does not result in a core dump, but it still badly crashes qemu-io (as desired).
I am sending this series because we need all tests to work before adding the check-block target to "make check" (which we will hopefully do soon). v3: - Patch 1: - s/allows to raise/allows raising/ [Eric] - %s/Unix signal/signal/g [Markus] - Use SIGTERM instead of SIGKILL in the example, and don't hardcode its value [Markus] - Patch 3: - Fix commit message (should have been "sigraise 9" instead of "abort -S 9", and now it's "sigraise $(kill -l KILL)") [Fam] - As hinted above, use "sigraise $(kill -l KILL)" instead of hardcoding the value 9 for SIGKILL [Markus] git-backport-diff against v2: Key: [----] : patches are identical [####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch [down] : patch is downstream-only The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively 001/3:[0008] [FC] 'qemu-io: Add sigraise command' 002/3:[----] [--] 'iotests: Filter for "Killed" in qemu-io output' 003/3:[0012] [FC] 'iotests: Fix test 039' Max Reitz (3): qemu-io: Add sigraise command iotests: Filter for "Killed" in qemu-io output iotests: Fix test 039 qemu-io-cmds.c | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/qemu-iotests/039 | 18 +++++++++++----- tests/qemu-iotests/039.out | 6 +++--- tests/qemu-iotests/common.filter | 2 +- 4 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3
