From 852b644acbce1529307a4bb283752c4e77b5cda7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthieu Baerts (NGI0)" matttbe@kernel.org Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 19:23:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: mptcp: join: properly kill background tasks
The 'run_tests' function is executed in the background, but killing its associated PID would not kill the children tasks running in the background.
To properly kill all background tasks, 'kill -- -PID' could be used, but this requires kill from procps-ng. Instead, all children tasks are listed using 'ps', and 'kill' is called with all PIDs of this group.
