Jakub, you are very welcome :)
I'll keep an eye on the dashboard, but I very much encourage you to
ping me in case of any other issues with tcp_ao selftests.

I currently have v2 for tcp-ao tracepoints, but delaying it as working
on a reproducer/selftest for an issue I think I have a patch for.

BTW, do you know if those were addressed or anyone is looking into
them? (from other tcp-ao hits, that seem not anyhow related to tcp-ao
itself):

I can spend some time on them after I verify that my fix for -stable
is actually fixing an issue I think it fixes.
Seems like your automation + my selftests are giving some fruits, hehe.

Thanks,
