This is a time based test, so that is definitely possible. I had to trade off sensitivity to variance against total running time. Current tests schedule delivery in the future at 10 msec timescale. It succeeds if dequeue happens at programmed departure time += 2 msec of variance (cfg_variance_us). Note that statements of this kind are not errors and are printed every time: > # SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock monotonic > ipv6: clock_monotonic # > # payloada delay452 expected0 (us) > delay452: expected0_(us) # This seems like an error with clockid CLOCK_TAI, which means with qdisc ETF. > # SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock tai > ipv6: clock_tai # > # ./so_txtime read Resource temporarily unavailable > read: Resource_temporarily # > # > : _ # > # SO_TXTIME ipv6 clock tai > ipv6: clock_tai # > # ./so_txtime read Resource temporarily unavailable > read: Resource_temporarily # Let me check a few other runs on the dashboard, too. > [FAIL] 24 selftests net so_txtime.sh # exit=1 > selftests: net_so_txtime.sh [FAIL] > > Test run full log, > https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1010545#L1234 > > Test results comparison link, > https://qa-reports.linaro.org/lkft/linux-next-oe/tests/kselftest/net_so_txtime.sh > https://qa-reports.linaro.org/lkft/linux-mainline-oe/tests/kselftest/net_so_txtime.sh This appears to have been flaky from the start, particularly on qemu_arm. Looking at a few runs.. failing runs exceeds bounds: https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1006586 https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1010686 https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1010630 " delay22049: expected20000_(us) # # ./so_txtime exceeds variance (2000 us) " " delay13700: expected10000_(us) # # ./so_txtime exceeds variance (2000 us) " " delay29722: expected20000_(us) # # ./so_txtime exceeds variance (2000 us) " These are easy to suppress, by just increasing cfg_variance_us and optionally also increasing the delivery time scale. failing run hit the "read: Resource temporarily unavailable" on TAI, like this report https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1008681 It is not absence of CONFIG_NET_SCH_ETF. That is compiled in (as module) in these runs, according to the kernel config linked in the dashboard. The recv call must return EAGAIN because it reaches the SO_RCVTIMEO timeout, set to 100 msec. So the packet was lost. I don't immediately have an explanation for this. Will try to run my own qemu-arm instance. Naresh, when you mention "multiple boards" are there specific microarchitectural details of the hosts that I should take into account aside from the qemu-arm virtualized environment itself? passing run detects missing ETF and skips those: https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/1006511 That is peculiar, as the dashboard for that run also shows it as available. Very nice dashboard, btw!
