This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests/bpf: Relax time_tai test for equal timestamps in tai_forward to the 6.6-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-relax-time_tai-test-for-equal-timestam.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 761b536bbb8114c45183e919821ca99aa106b0f4 Author: YiFei Zhu <zhuyifei@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 12 18:29:11 2023 +0000 selftests/bpf: Relax time_tai test for equal timestamps in tai_forward [ Upstream commit e1ba7f64b192f083b4423644be03bb9e3dc8ae84 ] We're observing test flakiness on an arm64 platform which might not have timestamps as precise as x86. The test log looks like: test_time_tai:PASS:tai_open 0 nsec test_time_tai:PASS:test_run 0 nsec test_time_tai:PASS:tai_ts1 0 nsec test_time_tai:PASS:tai_ts2 0 nsec test_time_tai:FAIL:tai_forward unexpected tai_forward: actual 1702348135471494160 <= expected 1702348135471494160 test_time_tai:PASS:tai_gettime 0 nsec test_time_tai:PASS:tai_future_ts1 0 nsec test_time_tai:PASS:tai_future_ts2 0 nsec test_time_tai:PASS:tai_range_ts1 0 nsec test_time_tai:PASS:tai_range_ts2 0 nsec #199 time_tai:FAIL This patch changes ASSERT_GT to ASSERT_GE in the tai_forward assertion so that equal timestamps are permitted.
