[PATCH] selftests: connector: make proc_filter terminate on its own

From: Eva Kurchatova

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 21:37:41 EST


proc_filter listens for process events until a signal interrupts it, so
a caller that waits for it to finish waits forever. Generate one event,
stop after five seconds, and fail if nothing was received.
