Subject: [PATCH] selftests/harness: Prevent infinite loop due to Assert in FIXTURE_TEARDOWN
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 06:43:23 +0800

This patch addresses an issue in the selftests/harness where an assertion within FIXTURE_TEARDOWN could trigger an infinite loop. The problem arises because the teardown procedure is meant to execute once, but the presence of failing assertions (ASSERT_EQ(0, 1)) leads to repeated attempts to execute teardown due to the long jump mechanism used by the harness for handling assertions.

To resolve this, the patch ensures that the teardown process runs only once, regardless of assertion outcomes, preventing the infinite loop and allowing tests to fail.
