[PATCH v2] selftests/cgroup: add user_usec sanity check in test_cpucg_nice
From: Shaojie Sun
Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 09:15:36 EST
In test_cpucg_nice, after the child process exits, user_usec is
read from cpu.stat but the value is not checked. Add a sanity check
to ensure user_usec > 0, analogous to test_cpucg_stats(), so that
the test fails early if CPU usage wasn't properly accounted.

v2: Instead of simply removing the unused user_usec read, add a sanity
check (if user_usec <= 0, goto cleanup) analogous to test_cpucg_stats(),
as suggested by Michal.
