We already have a small regression test for #15226 within the swraid installer test. Unfortunately, we only check there whether the md kthread got signalled but not whether other rampaging processes are still alive that *should* have been killed. So in order to do this we provide multiple canary processes which are checked after the system has booted up: * canary1: It's a simple forking daemon which just sleeps until it's going to be killed. Of course we expect this process to not be alive anymore after boot up. * canary2: Similar to canary1, but tries to mimick a kthread to make sure that it's going to be properly killed at the end of stage 1. * canary3: Like canary2, but this time using a @ in front of its command name to actually prevent it from being killed. * kcanary: This one is a real kthread and it runs until killed, which shouldn't be the case. Tested with and without 67223ee and everything works as expected, at least on my machine. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
