This is failing on about 10% of attempts. Usually it passes on a rerun:

But sometimes it fails on the rerun:

    Thanks - I had seen that; I wasn't overly concerned because (a) the failure-on-repeat rate is very low, and (b) from what I can make out, the test that is failing is a explicitly testing performance under extreme network load. Obviously it would be preferable to pass the test consistently, but it's also going to be difficult to reproduce (and I haven't had any luck to date reproducing it locally)

    FWIW - there are at least two failure modes that I've seen. They both occur on the sock_send_racing portion of the test. The sock_recv and sock_recv_into portions of the test seem to be stable. It does make me wonder if the problem is some sort of time-based reset after the first sequence of the test.

    Also, the GitHub buildbot comments aren't including anything useful. This might be because every line in the test log has an extra space at the start.

    It's still happening - but it's a lot less frequent than it was. Looking at the last 200 builds on Buildbot, there are:

    • 7 failures that passed on the re-run (all test_sock_client_racing failures).
    • 1 failure that failed a second time on re-run (this build, on Jun 28).
