Hello Michael,

I have done a small experiment with timeout=1 in settings and use
run-parts to run the executables, it looks like this change won't
affect run-parts.

Not quite sure about the RUN_TESTS you mentioned here, we're testing
it with command like:
sudo make -C linux/tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=powerpc run_tests
And the timeout setting will take effect with this.

Thanks
