But I'm pretty sure that even with that there will be sporadic failures in slow enough environments.

When the host-induced jitter/delay is high enough, packets are dropped and there are functional failures. I'm wondering if we should skip this test entirely when KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW=yes.

By skip do you mean the same approach as to the gro test? Ignore errors? Because keeping the code coverage for KASAN etc. would still be good (stating the obvious, sorry).

I see my wording was not clear/misleading, I'm sorry. Yes, I mean checking KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW in the caller script and ignoring errors.

Cheers,
