[ Upstream commit 9616cb34b08ec86642b162eae75c5a7ca8debe3c ] Timeouts in kselftest are done using the "timeout" command with the "--foreground" option. Without the "foreground" option, it is not possible for a user to cancel the runner using SIGINT, because the signal is not propagated to timeout which is running in a different process group. The "forground" options places the timeout in the same process group as its parent, but only sends the SIGTERM (on timeout) signal to the forked process. Unfortunately, this does not play nice with all kselftests, e.g. "net:fcnal-test.sh", where the child processes will linger because timeout does not send SIGTERM to the group. Some users have noted these hangs [1]. Fix this by nesting the timeout with an additional timeout without the foreground option.

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 Restructured Text 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.
