Simply adding a "sleep" before checking something is usually not a good
idea because the time that has been picked can not be enough or too
much. The best is to wait for events with a timeout.
In this selftest, 'sleep 0.5' is used more than 40 times. It is always
used before calling a 'verify_*' function except for this
verify_listener_events which has been added later.
At the end, using all these 'sleep 0.5' seems to work: the slow CIs
don't complain so far. Also because it doesn't take too much time, we
can just add two more 'sleep 0.5' to uniform what is done before calling
a 'verify_*' function. For the same reasons, we can also delay a bigger
refactoring to replace all these 'sleep 0.5' by functions waiting for
events instead of waiting for a fix time and hope for the best.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
