Which test cases fail? I typically run this under kdevops, using the "stress" profile (which runs 2 threads for every CPU in the system): jlayton@walgis:~/git/kdevops/workflows/gitr/results/6.15.0-rc5-ga182e4cc7f89/nfs-v42$ cat 20250505T100749.summary Test Summary Report ------------------- ./t4137-apply-submodule.sh (Wstat: 256 (exited 1) Tests: 28 Failed: 1) Failed test: 22 Non-zero exit status: 1 ./t5701-git-serve.sh (Wstat: 256 (exited 1) Tests: 24 Failed: 2) Failed tests: 1, 21 Non-zero exit status: 1 ./t7112-reset-submodule.sh (Wstat: 256 (exited 1) Tests: 82 Failed: 3) Failed tests: 6-7, 20 Non-zero exit status: 1 ./t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh (Wstat: 256 (exited 1) Tests: 98 Failed: 20) Failed tests: 9, 12, 14, 21, 27, 31-39, 48, 50-54 Non-zero exit status: 1 Files=1007, Tests=30920, 12452 wallclock secs (13.38 usr 12.64 sys + 1115.57 cusr 16188.83 csys = 17330.42 CPU) Result: FAIL My efforts at narrowing down the testsuite have mostly resulted in things not failing. It seems to be some combination of the tests, and the fact that they are all running in parallel. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
