Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] userfaultfd/selftests: Remove the time() check on delayed uffd
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 19:27:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210412232753.1012412-3-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210412232753.1012412-1-peterx@redhat.com>

There seems to have no guarantee that time() will return the same for the two
calls even if there's no delay, e.g. when a fault is accidentally crossing the
changing of a second.  Meanwhile, this message is also not helping that much
since delay could happen with a lot of reasons, e.g., schedule latency of
resolving thread.  It may not mean an issue with uffd.

Neither do I saw this error triggered either in the past runs.  Even if it
triggers, it'll be drown in all the rest of test logs.  Remove it.
