Subject: [PATCH] KVM: selftests: Avoid assuming "sudo" exists
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2024 14:43:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240415-kvm-selftests-no-sudo-v1-1-95153ad5f470@google.com> (raw)

I ran into a failure running this test on a minimal rootfs.

Can be fixed by just skipping the "sudo" in case we are already root.
