Commit Message

Cyril Hrubis July 31, 2018, 1:08 p.m. UTC
The result pointer wasn't initialized in tst_reinit(), which haven't
allowed for test result propagation to the main test process and there
is actually no reason not to do that. So this commit initializes the
results pointer in tst_reinit() and also adds a needs_ipc_path flag to
tst_test structure, which causes the library not to unlink the IPC file
after it has been mapped and also inserts LTP_IPC_PATH to the
environment.

This commit also adds a test that also shows the usage of the API.

The ptr seems redundant here, I suggest to remove it from tst_reinit().

Others looks good to me.

This is obviously correct.

What is the negative of skipping unlink() for all tests?
Test itself runs in separate process, so cleanup_ipc() should run
anyway and clean it.

.needs_ipc_path - I'm worried users won't know what this is for.
Maybe if it was called ".child_needs_reinit"? reinit appears
to be the only reason we need to keep shm_path around.

Jan

Well we use test ID as well as pid for the filename so it should be
unique enough, we also do O_EXCL on the file so I guess that it should
be safe enough not to unlink() it after it has been mapped.

There is one downside though, in a case that there is no tmpfs mounted
we fall back to mapping a file, in which case we will trigger writeback
to the storage by updating the piece of memory.

And given that there are actually very few testcases that needs to
access the test library from the children started by exec I would like
to keep unlinking the file unless needed.

That sounds definitely better.

OK, then let's go with new flag for tst_test struct.
As you said, it's not very commonly used.
Can you add a sentence or two also to docs part that talks about reinit?
