Subject: [PATCH net-next] selftests: tls: avoid flakiness in data_steal
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 12:02:05 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106200205.1593915-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
We see the following failure a few times a week:
# RUN global.data_steal ...
# tls.c:3280:data_steal:Expected recv(cfd, buf2, sizeof(buf2), MSG_DONTWAIT) (10000) == -1 (-1)
# data_steal: Test failed
# FAIL global.data_steal
not ok 8 global.data_steal
The 10000 bytes read suggests that the child process did a recv()
of half of the data using the TLS ULP and we're now getting the
remaining half. The intent of the test is to get the child to
enter _TCP_ recvmsg handler, so it needs to enter the syscall before
parent installed the TLS recvmsg with setsockopt(SOL_TLS).
Instead of the 10msec sleep send 1 byte of data and wait for the
child to consume it.
