[for-linus][PATCH 0/2] ktest: Fixes for v7.1
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Apr 20 2026 - 15:30:55 EST
ktest updates for v7.1:
- Fix date timestamp of failure directory
When a ktest fails, if STORE_FAILURES is set, then if a test fails, it
copies various files to a created directory in the STORE_FAILURES
location (like the .config used, and some other files). To create the
timestamp portion of the directory name, the Perl function localtime() is
used. The month field starts from 0 and the code does not account for
this. That is, the date of April 20, 2026 will be displayed as 20260320
instead of 20260420. Add one to the month to have the date be more
accurate.
- Save the entire log file in the failure directory
The logfile that keeps track of all tests contains boot messages, error
messages, dmesg, etc. This information is very useful in figuring out why
a test failed. Save the logfile in the failure directory as well.
