[LTP] does mtest05/mmstress.c exit?

[<rw...@ea...>]

The mmstress test looks like a great addition to LTP.  This is
the first LTP test I've seen take the load average over 32.  I
like that.  BTW, interactive response is still decent, considering
the load.

mmstress is only in cvs, so I understand it's not for general use
yet, but I have a question.

I ran it for a while last night.  I'm not sure ran for more than an 
hour or not.  2.4.14-pre7 came out so I stopped mmstress and booted 
the new kernel.  I started runalltests.sh again and went to bed. 
ioctl02 hung before runalltests.sh got to mmstress.  (ioctl02 hanging 
has been a very intermittant problem).  I killed the 2 ioctl02 processes, 
so runalltests.sh has moved into mmstress.

I'll know tonight when I check the test if mmstress has moved passed
test1.  I'm hoping in the meantime, someone more knowledgeable will
provide some insight.

My question is, does mmstress actually exit when no args are passed?

Looking in mtest05/mmstress.c, I see:

int   test_time = 0;        /* duration for which test is to be run       */

I see that test_time can be changed by passing -t {hours}.  I'm wondering 
if -t isn't passed, whether the value of test_time = 0 ends up becoming a 
"run forever" test.

Thanks for all the good work you do!

I'm going to try initializing test_time = 1, as well as letting the current
mmstress test run.
