[PATCH] selftests/net: give more time to udpgro nat tests
Posted by Lucas Karpinski 2 years, 2 months ago
In some conditions, background processes in udpgro don't have enough
time to set up the sockets. When foreground processes start, this
results in the bad GRO lookup test freezing or reporting that it
received 0 gro segments.

To fix this, increase the time given to background processes to complete
the startup before foreground processes start.

This is the same issue and the same fix as posted by Adrien Therry.

Let's not let the hacks spread.
We suggested two options in the linked thread.

Another one is to explicitly rendezvous the processes - have both sides
exchange a UDP packet or establish a TCP connection after setting up.
