[New-bugs-announce] [issue46711] test_logging: test_post_fork_child_no_deadlock() failed with timeout on AMD64 Arch Linux Asan Debug 3.10

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

The test calls support.wait_process() which uses SHORT_TIMEOUT.

wait_process() should use LONG_TIMEOUT, or the ASAN buildbot should increase its timeout (regrtest --timeout parameter).

IMO using LONG_TIMEOUT is fine: it's ok if the test takes 2 minutes instead of 1 second, it's only important that it completes :-) The test should not measure the *performance* of the code, only if the code is valid. When tests are run in parallel, the buildbot system load can be very high. In this case, the system load was 1.70:

0:35:49 load avg: 1.70 [255/421/1] test_logging failed (1 failure) (1 min 18 sec)
