Linux kernel source tree
On tests that are expecting failure the timeout value is TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC == 1 second. Which is big enough for most of devices under tests. But on a particularly slow machine/VM, 1 second might be not enough for another thread to be scheduled and attempt to connect(). It is not a problem for tests that expect connect() to succeed as the timeout value for them (TEST_TIMEOUT_SEC) is intentionally bigger. One obvious way to solve this would be to increase TEST_RETRANSMIT_SEC. But as all tests would increase the timeouts, that's going to sum up. But here is less obvious way that keeps timeouts for expected connect() failures low: just synchronize the two threads, which will assure that before counter checks the other thread got a chance to run and timeout on connect(). The expected increase of the related counter for listen() socket will yet test the expected failure. Never happens on my machine, but I suppose the majority of netdev's connect-deny-* flakes [1] are caused by this. Prevents the following testing issue: > # selftests: net/tcp_ao: connect-deny_ipv6 > # 1..21 > # # 462[lib/setup.c:243] rand seed 1720905426 > # TAP version 13 > # ok 1 Non-AO server + AO client > # not ok 2 Non-AO server + AO client: TCPAOKeyNotFound counter did not increase: 0 <= 0 > # ok 3 AO server + Non-AO client > # ok 4 AO server + Non-AO client: counter TCPAORequired increased 0 => 1 ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
