This seems to be a false failure caused by test script itself (qa- regression-testing/scripts/test-kernel-security.py):
Here, test_140_kernel_modules_not_tainted is complaining about a module 'signpost' which is a test module that was inserted by an unrelated test case (test_072_strict_devmem) which ran and failed earlier in this run (see bug 1760649). The fault is that test_072_strict_devmem fails to remove its 'signpost' test module at line 768 if that assert at line 766 fails. @Po-Hsu, could you take a look at fixing test_072_strict_devmem so that it removes 'signpost' regardless of success or failure? ** Changed in: linux-kvm (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Won't Fix ** Changed in: linux-kvm (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew) ** Changed in: linux-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: linux-kvm (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Won't Fix => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
