From f0bd19316663710de157e85afd62058312aa97e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gal Pressman Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:58:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: net: fix timeout passed as positional argument to communicate() The cited commit refactored the hardcoded timeout=5 into a parameter, but dropped the keyword from the communicate() call. Since Popen.communicate()'s first positional argument is 'input' (not 'timeout'), the timeout value is silently treated as stdin input and the call never enforces a timeout. Pass timeout as a keyword argument to restore the intended behavior.
