Matthieu Baerts says: ==================== selftests: mptcp: mark unstable subtests as flaky Some subtests can be unstable, failing once every X runs. Fixing them can take time: there could be an issue in the kernel or in the subtest, and it is then important to do a proper analysis, not to hide real bugs. To avoid creating noises on the different CIs where tests are more unstable than on our side, some subtests have been marked as flaky. As a result, errors with these subtests (if any) are ignored. Note that the MPTCP CI will continue to track these flaky subtests. All these unstable subtests are also tracked by our bug tracker. These are fixes for the -net tree, because the instabilities are visible there. The first patch introducing the flake support has no 'Fixes' tags, mainly because it requires recent and important refactoring done in all MPTCP selftests. Backporting that to old versions where the flaky tests have been introduced would be too difficult, and probably not worth it. The other patches, adding MPTCP_LIB_SUBTEST_FLAKY=1, have a Fixes tag, simply to ease the backport of the future fixes removing them along with the proper fix. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240524-upstream-net-20240524-selftests-mptcp-flaky-v1-0-a352362f3f8e@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
