Subject: [PATCH] selftests/livepatch: Do not check order when using "comm" for dmesg checking
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 13:07:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200827110709.26824-1-mbenes@suse.cz> (raw)

check_result() uses "comm" to check expected results of selftests output
in dmesg. Everything works fine if timestamps in dmesg are unique. If
not, like in this example

[   86.844422] test_klp_callbacks_demo: pre_unpatch_callback: test_klp_callbacks_mod -> [MODULE_STATE_LIVE] Normal state
[   86.844422] livepatch: 'test_klp_callbacks_demo': starting unpatching transition

, "comm" fails with "comm: file 2 is not in sorted order". Suppress the
order checking with --nocheck-order option.

The strange thing is, I can reproduce the issue easily and reliably on
older codestreams (4.12) but not on current upstream in my testing
environment. I think the change makes sense regardless though.
