This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests: cmsg_ipv6: repeat the exact packet to the 6.1-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-cmsg_ipv6-repeat-the-exact-packet.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 29106e4421f827fc3b1c87081b653f07262f267f Author: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Feb 4 08:56:18 2024 -0800 selftests: cmsg_ipv6: repeat the exact packet [ Upstream commit 4b00d0c513da58b68df015968721b11396fe4ab3 ] cmsg_ipv6 test requests tcpdump to capture 4 packets, and sends until tcpdump quits. Only the first packet is "real", however, and the rest are basic UDP packets. So if tcpdump doesn't start in time it will miss the real packet and only capture the UDP ones. This makes the test fail on slow machine (no KVM or with debug enabled) 100% of the time, while it passes in fast environments. Repeat the "real" / expected packet.
