[PATCH bpf-next v1] selftests/bpf: Improve tc_tunnel test reliability
From: Jiayuan Chen
Date: Thu Mar 12 2026 - 04:36:46 EST
From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@xxxxxxxxxx>
A test failure was discovered in BPF CI [1] caused by connection timeout.
The current test timeout of 500ms is insufficient for CI environments,
particularly under high load.
While the optimal timeout is unclear, this test was converted from the
original test_tc_tunnel.sh script. The original script used nc with "-w 1"
to specify a 1-second timeout [2]. Therefore, this test restores the
timeout to 1s.
Test:
./test_progs -a tc_tunnel
