Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/7] selftests: drv-net: add a warning for bkg + shell + terminate
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2025 15:49:50 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250219234956.520599-2-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250219234956.520599-1-kuba@kernel.org>

Joe Damato reports that some shells will fork before running
the command when python does "sh -c $cmd", while bash does
an exec of $cmd directly. This will have implications for our
ability to terminate the child process on bash vs other shells.
Warn about using

	bkg(... shell=True, termininate=True)

most background commands can hopefully exit cleanly (exit_wait).
