Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2020-06-27 16:43:16 UTC
I am unable to reproduce this on amd64. Are you able to reproduce this on any other archs?

Please attach any relevent files from ${BUILD_DIR}/tests/output/misc.

Comment 3 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2021-09-02 05:01:00 UTC
same with 2.37.2
Comment 4 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2022-02-24 16:21:51 UTC
Results from 2.37.4:

         misc: flock: [02] no-fork                           ... FAILED (misc/flock-no-fork)
         misc: flock: [04] exclusive                         ... FAILED (misc/flock-exclusive)
         misc: flock: [06] time-check                        ... FAILED (diff 9 sec)
         misc: flock                                         ... FAILED (3 from 6 sub-tests)
Comment 5 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2023-04-06 18:28:55 UTC
And now the same happens on hppa:

misc: flock: [04] exclusive                         ... FAILED (misc/flock-exclusive)
misc: flock: [06] time-check                        ... FAILED (diff 6 sec)
misc: flock                                         ... FAILED (2 from 6 sub-tests)
Comment 6 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2023-04-06 18:55:55 UTC
I suspect this may be a timing issue/race condition.

The tests/fs/misc/flock script starts by claiming a shared lock and then sleeping for 3 seconds in the background.

All of the test cases in the script must complete during that 3 second window, or they will start to fail because the initial shared lock expires.

Rolf: Do these failures happen consistently, or only under high load?
Comment 7 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2023-04-06 19:19:41 UTC
I can't really tell because my machine is always relatively busy and these are also quite slow, so this sort of timeout issues is nothing new. But sounds like bad test design :/
Comment 8 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2023-10-17 18:49:02 UTC
Results from 2.39.2:

         misc: flock: [04] exclusive                         ... FAILED (misc/flock-exclusive)
         misc: flock: [05] fd                                ... FAILED (misc/flock-fd)
         misc: flock: [06] timeout                           ... FAILED (misc/flock-timeout)
         misc: flock: [07] time-check                        ... FAILED (diff 10 sec)
         misc: flock                                         ... FAILED (4 from 7 sub-tests)

There are more test failures, which seem unrelated and will be reported independently.
