Hi Shuah,
Bumping an old thread, this is still an issue for this test [1] and it could end up affecting many others.

The default timeout for kselftests is 45 seconds, but pcm-test can take longer than that to run depending on the number of PCMs present on a device.
As a data point, running pcm-test on mt8192-asurada-spherion takes about 1m15s.
Set the timeout to 10 minutes, which should give enough slack to run the test even on devices with many PCMs.
10 minutes is way too long.
Is there a downside to that? There'll be some tests that take more time, I don't think that's a problem with the tests or a reason to let them timeout. IMO it's the test framework which should adapt to the needs of different types of tests, and the solution provided by this patch is good enough, it addresses the problem for this particular test suite.
If the solution is still unacceptable, do you have an alternative proposal in mind that we can try to implement?
Thanks, Ricardo
