I've seen that in Debian, too. It has more architectures so it can be worse. Thanks for clarifying. I added that information to the commit message and applied this to master. If it would help to backport to branch-2.9, let me know. ___ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev

Some tests fails often than other tests (when run in multiple jobs), so rarely (on a big machine, with 32 cores and by using -j32) a test fails twice and so make check RECHECK=yes fails. This patch only avoid this rare failure that can be annoying if you are releasing a new package (on Fedora or RHEL for example) since you need to re-build all the architectures only for a false positive on a single architecture. ___ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev

To clarify, though, do you see some tests that always fail when run in parallel? That would be new to me, and I'd place a higher priority on fixing it. I do see that some tests are more likely to fail that way. ___ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
