Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Carlos O'Donell 2016-01-13 21:02:26 UTC
In order to increase the robustness of the testsuite we should backport Arjun's upstream conversions to test-skeleton.c as this gives us better timeout control over tests. Without this patch all the tests changed might never terminate and need to wait for the build to timeout.

commit 29955b5d9658b02d3a678d1f785db3d1e63184ca

    Modify several tests to use test-skeleton.c
    
    This patch modifies several test cases to use test-skeleton.c.
    It was generated by a bash script written for this purpose and
    thus excludes several other tests which I deemed worth a visual
    inspection before making the change.
    
    I intend to follow up with individual patches to the tests
    skipped by the script.
    
    The script itself resides at http://git.io/WODAmg and should
    reproduce this very patch when run against master.
