[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 10/17] lib/ktap: Read /dev/kmsg in blocking mode

[Janusz Krzysztofik]

We obtain KTAP report from /dev/kmsg.  That file is now opened from
igt_ktest_begin(), a function originally designed for i915 selftests and
now reused with kunit tests.  The original intention of opening that file
was to dump kernel messages to stderr on selftest error.  For that
purpose, the file is now opened in non-blocking mode so we don't end up
waiting for more kernel messages than already available.  Since our ktap
parser code reuses the file descriptor, we now have to loop over
EAGAIN responses, waiting for more KTAP data.  Since we have no sleeps
inside those loops, extremely high CPU usage can be observed.

Simplify reading KTAP reports by first switching the file descriptor back
to blocking mode.
