Subject: [PATCH net-next] selftests: drv-net: cope with slow env in so_txtime.py test
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 18:19:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511222138.2045551-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>
This test was converted from shell script to drv-net test.
The new version is flaky in dbg builds on the netdev.bots dashboard.
The previous shell script had more protections to avoid these. Added
in commit a7ee79b9c455 ("selftests: net: cope with slow env in
so_txtime.sh test").
Add the same overall protection:
- Suppress so_txtime process failure if KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW
Also relax two timeouts to reduce the number of process failures
themselves
- Increase SO_RCVTIMEO to 2 seconds
- Increase process start-up stabilization to 2 seconds
Delays were experimentally arrived at while running with vng
built with kernel/configs/debug.config
Fixes: 5c6baef3885c ("selftests: drv-net: convert so_txtime to drv-net")
Reported-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260510174219.74aeee6d@kernel.org/
