runtests: add --exclude / RSYNC_EXCLUDE to skip tests entirely#943
Merged
Conversation
Some tests cannot run in certain build/CI environments. In particular the protected-regular test self-re-execs under "unshare --map-users" to exercise fs.protected_regular handling, and that user-namespace path hangs in a restricted buildd chroot (e.g. Launchpad/sbuild), tripping the per-test timeout and failing the whole "make check". Add an --exclude option (comma-separated test names/globs), with an RSYNC_EXCLUDE environment fallback so it can be set without touching the make/check command line. Excluded tests are dropped before running -- they are neither executed nor reported as skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
