Is it possible that these CI test timeouts might be fixed by [1e24598]?
This commit is included in upstream [release 2.17] of 31 Oct 2025 ...
I built 2.17 locally and ran the test suite a couple of times, and,
though the test suite runs much faster, it did not fix the TIMEOUT
errors (though every now and then the test suite ran without any errors).
A MR was created upstream [MR] that, I think, works around the issue in
a more sustainable way, by doing a retry of the failing part of the test
in case of a TIMEOUT. This leaves tests that fail for other reasons
unaffected. It is not a complete fix, but I ran the test suite with this
in place a couple of times, and the test suite did no longer error out
(I ran it with a debug line so that I could see if the retry fired,
which it did).
Let's see if it gets accepted upstream.
