Subject: [PATCH] selftests: mm: capture write_hugetlb_memory.sh exit status
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 03:46:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405194623.84218-1-create0818@163.com> (raw)
charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh backgrounds write_hugetlb_memory.sh and immediately stores $? in write_result.
That only records whether the background job was started successfully, not whether write_hugetlb_memory.sh itself later failed. As a result, the test can miss reservation failure and OOM-kill outcomes that are inferred from the writer exit status.
Redirect the writer output straight to the temporary log file and wait for the background process before inspecting write_result, so the test records the actual exit status.
