This patch addresses an issue in the selftests/harness where an
assertion within FIXTURE_TEARDOWN could trigger an infinite loop.
The problem arises because the teardown procedure is meant to
execute once, but the presence of failing assertions (ASSERT_EQ(0, 1))
leads to repeated attempts to execute teardown due to
the long jump mechanism used by the harness for handling assertions.
To resolve this, the patch ensures that the teardown process
runs only once, regardless of assertion outcomes, preventing
the infinite loop and allowing tests to fail.
A simple test demo(test.c):
#include "kselftest_harness.h"
FIXTURE(f)
{
int fd;
};
FIXTURE_SETUP(f)
{
self->fd = 0;
}
FIXTURE_TEARDOWN(f)
{
TH_LOG("TEARDOWN");
ASSERT_EQ(0, 1);
self->fd = -1;
}
TEST_F(f, open_close)
{
ASSERT_NE(self->fd, 1);
}
TEST_HARNESS_MAIN
will always output the following output due to a dead loop until timeout:
# test.c:15:open_close:TEARDOWN
# test.c:16:open_close:Expected 0 (0) == 1 (1)
# test.c:15:open_close:TEARDOWN
# test.c:16:open_close:Expected 0 (0) == 1 (1)
...
But here's what we should and expect to get:
TAP version 13
1..1
# Starting 1 tests from 2 test cases.
# RUN f.open_close ...
# test.c:15:open_close:TEARDOWN
# test.c:16:open_close:Expected 0 (0) == 1 (1)
# open_close: Test terminated by assertion
# FAIL f.open_close
not ok 1 f.open_close
# FAILED: 0 / 1 tests passed.
# Totals: pass:0 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
