When looking for something else in LKFT reports [1], I noticed that the
TC selftest ended with a timeout error:

   not ok 1 selftests: tc-testing: tdc.sh # TIMEOUT 45 seconds

The timeout had been introduced 3 years ago, see the Fixes commit below.

This timeout is only in place when executing the selftests via the
kselftests runner scripts. I guess this is not what most TC devs are
using and nobody noticed the issue before.

The new timeout is set to 15 minutes as suggested by Pedro [2]. It looks
like it is plenty more time than what it takes in "normal" conditions.

Fixes: 852c8cbf34d3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second
timeout per test")

+timeout=900

I remember last year when I tested all the tdc cases(qdisc + filter +
action + infra) in my vm machine, it took me nearly 20 minutes.
So I think it should be more than 1200 seconds if all cases need to be
tested.

Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Matthieu:
Be careful that here, it is the timeout to run "tdc.sh" only which is
currently limited to:

./tdc.py -c actions --nobuildebpf
./tdc.py -c qdisc

(not "filter", nor "infra" then)

I guess for this, 15 minutes is more than enough, no?

15 minutes is enough for qdisc and actions. Thanks.

At least on my side, I ran it in a i386 VM without KVM and it took less
than 3 minutes [1].

Cheers,
Matt
