Subject: [PATCH v2] test: py: add dry run check for FIT image
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:45:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260126104619.782459-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
A dry run should not alter system state in a way that would inhibit
normal operation or repeated dry runs.
The FIT image boot in the test suite, however, reduces the VFS root's
reference count beyond the initial value before the bootm.
This led to a warning on boot that can be reproduced by repeating the
dry run multiple times:
FAILED test/py/test_fit.py::test_fit_dryrun -
AssertionError: ['WARNING: at fs/fs.c:255/mntput()!',
'WARNING: refcount for mount "/" becomes negative']
This issue is now fixed, so add a regression test, so it doesn't
resurface.
