From 6b8492cecc689ff4af3523a44b4f991c1deee2dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Machata Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 14:19:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: mlxsw: Increase the tolerance of backlog buildup The intention behind this test is to make sure that qdisc limit is correctly projected to the HW. However, first, due to rounding in the qdisc, and then in the driver, the number cannot actually be accurate. And second, the approach to testing this is to oversubscribe the port with traffic generated on the same switch. The actual backlog size therefore fluctuates. In practice, this test proved to be noisier than the rest, and spuriously fails every now and then. Increase the tolerance to 10 % to avoid these issues.
