Hi Sidong,

I think this patch tries to solve two different issues.

I am not a maintainer, but I believe you can split it.

Everything indicates that changing the commit tail sequence does not
ideally solve the problem of subtests getting stuck (as we have dicussed);
however, for me, the treatment of the warning is valid and it is also relat=
ed
to other IGT tests using VKMS.

One option is to send a patch that only treats the warning. I believe that
in the body of the commit message, it would be nice to have the warning
that this patch addresses, and when it appears by running an IGT test.
Also, say why it should be done this way in vkms.
This info could help future debugging.

Off-topic: I removed the group's mailing list of the University of S=C3=A3o
Paulo (kernel-usp) from the cc, since I believe you had no intention of
sending the patch to them.

Best regards,

Melissa
