[PATCH net 09/11] selftests: mptcp: join: userspace: longer timeout
Posted by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 1 week, 2 days ago
In rare cases, when the test environment is very slow, some userspace
tests can fail because some expected events have not been seen.

Because the tests are expecting a long on-going connection, and they are
not waiting for the end of the transfer, it is fine to have a longer
timeout, and even go over the default one. This connection will be
killed at the end, after the verifications: increasing the timeout
doesn't change anything, apart from avoiding it to end before the end of
the verifications.

To play it safe, all userspace tests not waiting for the end of the
transfer are now having a longer timeout: 2 minutes.

The Fixes commit was making the connection longer, but still, the
default timeout would have stopped it after 1 minute, which might not be
enough in very slow environments.

Fixes: 290493078b96 ("selftests: mptcp: join: userspace: longer transfer")
