This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests/bpf: Fix flaky fib_lookup test to the 6.3-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: selftests-bpf-fix-flaky-fib_lookup-test.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 92bcf0c205535ee9aca4fb0ef18d4a73431635e7 Author: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 8 22:02:44 2023 -0800 selftests/bpf: Fix flaky fib_lookup test [ Upstream commit a6865576317f6249f3f83cf4c10ab56e627ee153 ] There is a report that fib_lookup test is flaky when running in parallel. A symptom of slowness or delay. An example: Testing IPv6 stale neigh set_lookup_params:PASS:inet_pton(IPV6_IFACE_ADDR) 0 nsec test_fib_lookup:PASS:bpf_prog_test_run_opts 0 nsec test_fib_lookup:FAIL:fib_lookup_ret unexpected fib_lookup_ret: actual 0 != expected 7 test_fib_lookup:FAIL:dmac not match unexpected dmac not match: actual 1 != expected 0 dmac expected 11:11:11:11:11:11 actual 00:00:00:00:00:00 [ Note that the "fib_lookup_ret unexpected fib_lookup_ret actual 0 ..." is reversed in terms of expected and actual value. Fixing in this patch also. ] One possibility is the testing stale neigh entry was marked dead by the gc (in neigh_periodic_work). The default gc_stale_time sysctl is 60s. This patch increases it to 15 mins. It also: - fixes the reversed arg (actual vs expected) in one of the ASSERT_EQ test - removes the nodad command arg when adding v4 neigh entry which currently has a warning.
