Thanks. It does not seem to resolve the flakes.
At this point I think the best path is to run them in debug mode to get coverage, but ignore errors. With the below draft patch, error output is still logged. For instance:
# tcp_timestamping_partial.pkt:58: runtime error in recvmsg call: Bad timestamp 0 in scm_timestamping 0: expected=1734924748967958 (20000) actual=1734924748982069 (34111) start=1734924748947958 # ok 2 ipv6 # SKIP
Makes sense. Can we make this XFAIL instead of SKIP, tho? Not exactly accurate but we try to use SKIP for reporting env / setup problems like missing commands. We have FAIL_TO_XFAIL and xfail_on_slow() in the lib for netdev bash tests, already.
Sounds good. I'll add a ktap_test_xfail() to stay with that API. I see no clean way to make use of xfail_on_slow directly.
Ack.
When net-next reopens, unless the noisy dash is annoying.
No huge rush, once we mark the test as ignored it's not very annoying. As long as we have a fix before the next merge window we'll be good.
