Good news everyone,
the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for *September 2016*
has been released.
Since the last release 236 patches by 28 authors were merged.
Notable changes are:
o New testcases
- tracepath, clockdiff, arpping, ping, wc, insmod
- ftrace
- access()
- fallocate() FALLOC_FL_INSTERT_RANGE
- kcmp()
- lgetxattr()
- sched_setscheduler()
- epoll_ctl()
- sbrk() regression test
- dio_sparse added direct I/O regression test
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/622065/)
o Rewritten/cleaned up tests
- waitpid syscall testcases
- NFS tests
- ftrace tests
o More work on memory cgroup testcases
- a lot of cleanups, big tests were split into smaller ones
- implemented proper synchronization primitives between processes
which saves a few minutes on the test execution time
o More work on the new test API
- test is executed in child processes, parent process watches for timeout,
does cleanup, reports results, etc.
- Ctrl+C kills all subprocesses correctly and the parent process runs cleanup
- new command line option parsing helpers
- 25 testcases were cleaned up and rewritten to use the new test API
o New EXPECT_PASS and EXPECT_FAIL helpers in shell library
o New shell wrappers for checkpoint (futex based) synchronization primitives
o New tst_su wrapper (that makes sure that path to LTP binaries is in $PATH)
o Open Posix Testsuite changes
- parallel build has been fixed
- the build process now uses the top level configure parameters
(CC, CFLAGS, LDLIBS, LDFLAGS)
+ The usuall amount of cleanups, fixes, and speedups.
The latest version of the test-suite contains 3000+ tests for the Linux
and can be downloaded at:
