The pmtu.sh test uses a few TCP listener in a problematic way: It hard-codes a constant timeout to wait for the listener starting-up in background. That introduces unneeded latency and on very slow and busy host it can fail. Additionally the test starts again the same listener in the same namespace on the same port, just after the previous connection completed. Fast host can attempt starting the new server before the old one really closed the socket. Address the issues using the wait_local_port_listen helper and explicitly waiting for the background listener process exit.

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 Restructured Text 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.
