[PATCH] ktest: Add workaround to avoid unexpected power cycle

From: Masayoshi Mizuma
Date: Wed Apr 17 2019 - 16:15:05 EST


From: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Unexpected power cycle occurs while the installation of the
kernel.

That is because the default reboot command, "ssh $SSH_USER@$MACHINE
reboot" exits as 255 even if the reboot is successfully done,
like as:

]# ssh root@Test reboot
Connection to Test closed by remote host.
]# echo $?
255
]#

To avoid the unexpected power cycle, the reboot is considered as
successfully done if the reboot is the default command and the
return code is 255.
