Rationale: the fuzz engine may cancel t.Context() (e.g. at fuzztime expiry or between seed iterations), which immediately propagates to derived contexts and causes spurious context deadline exceeded failures. Using context.Background() ensures each fuzz iteration's 5s timeout is the sole cancellation trigger. Calling cancel() immediately (instead of defer) frees resources promptly without accumulating deferred calls across fuzz iterations.

This commit fixes the ordering so cancel() is always called immediately after cmdRunCtx returns. Also fixes ip_fuzz_test.go to use ctx.Err() == context.DeadlineExceeded instead of ctx.Err() != nil for the hang detector, since cancel() is now called before the check and would always return context.Canceled. --- builtins/tests/cut/cut_fuzz_test.go | 2 +- builtins/tests/grep/grep_fuzz_test.go | 4 ++-- builtins/tests/ip/ip_fuzz_test.go | 8 ++++---- builtins/tests/testcmd/testcmd_fuzz_test.go | 10 +++++----- 4 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtins/tests/cut/cut_fuzz_test.go b/builtins/tests/cut/cut_fuzz_test.go index 4fd2cb21..a14548f6 100644 --- a/builtins/tests/cut/cut_fuzz_test.go +++ b/builtins/tests/cut/cut_fuzz_test.go @@ -231,8 +231,8 @@ func FuzzCutDelimiter(f *testing.F) { ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second) script := fmt.Sprintf("cut -d '%s' -f %s input.txt", delim, fieldSpec) -
