patch 'test/bbdev: fix Python script subprocess' has been queued to stable release 22.11.4

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/13/23. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=22.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=22.11-staging&id=7b8504aee3af28984b64a170db54ac80a2f174d4

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] test/bbdev: fix Python script subprocess
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 262c9d13f7c998fdca526b28871f37b47fbbb464 ]

test-bbdev.py relying on non-recommended subprocess Popen.
This can lead to instabilities where the process cannot be stopped with a
sig TERM.
Use subprocess run with proper timeout argument.

Fixes: f714a18885a6 ("app/testbbdev: add test application for bbdev")
