Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/4] selftests: net: Lower threshold on debug kernels for big_tcp_tunnels.sh
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 22:41:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814194124.3102581-3-alice.kernel@fastmail.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814194124.3102581-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im>
From: Alice Mikityanska <alice@isovalent.com>
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET kernels run slower and generate fewer BIG TCP packets,
making the test flaky on upstream CI runners. Lower the default
threshold for those kernels.
