[PATCH v2 03/15] KVM: selftests: Add timeout option in selftests runner

Vipin Sharma vipinsh at google.com
Fri Jun 6 16:56:07 PDT 2025


Add a command line argument in KVM selftest runner to limit amount of
time (seconds) given to a test for execution. Kill the test if it exceeds the
given value. Define a new SelftestStatus.TIMED_OUT to denote a selftest
final result. Add terminal color for status messages of timed out tests.

Set the default value of 120 seconds for all tests.
