From: Alice Mikityanska <redacted> CONFIG_DEBUG_NET kernels run slower and generate fewer BIG TCP packets, making the test flaky on upstream CI runners. Lower the default threshold for those kernels.
Thank you for looking at that!

Are you sure it is CONFIG_DEBUG_NET that causes that? It shouldn't be that heavy. Do you not want to change the thresholds only for the -dbg runners using kernel/configs/debug.config? If yes, you should check if KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW == yes: https://github.com/linux-netdev/nipa/wiki/How-to-run-netdev-selftests-CI-style#dealing-with-slow-runners-in-performancelatency-tests Cheers, Matt -- Sponsored by the NGI0 Core fund.
