Commit Message

Trevor Gamblin July 8, 2026, 3:19 p.m. UTC 
t9042-dos-partition-limit.sh has failed 24 times over the past year on
qemuriscv64, which is using TCG emulation (slower) and thus can struggle
with higher system loads. Skip it for riscv64 builds by applying a patch
in that case.

Now, on qemuriscv64:

|PASS: t9041-undetected-in-use-16th-partition.sh
|t9042-dos-partition-limit.sh: skipped test: this test frequently reports a timeout under heavy system load

+Subject: [PATCH] t9042-dos-partition-limit.sh: unconditionally skip
+
+This test is prone to failure under heavy system load, especially for
+guests using TCG emulation (e.g. qemuriscv64 on an x86 host). Skip it.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe specific]
