Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] selftests/mm/charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh: add waits with timeout helper
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2025 16:58:09 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251221085810.3163919-3-liwang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251221085810.3163919-1-liwang@redhat.com>

The hugetlb cgroup usage wait loops in charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh were
unbounded and could hang forever if the expected cgroup file value never
appears (e.g. due to bugs, timing issues, or unexpected behavior).

Introduce a small helper, wait_for_file_value(), and use it for:
  - waiting for reservation usage to drop to 0,
  - waiting for reservation usage to reach a given size,
  - waiting for fault usage to reach a given size.

This makes the waits consistent and adds a hard timeout (120 tries with
0.5s sleep) so the test fails instead of stalling indefinitely.
