From a950adf02648b08e842031bf6965ccda2a86cf42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abtin Keshavarzian Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 13:37:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [stress-tests] relax event limits in `otns-performance` test MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The `otns-performance` stress test simulates a 32-node router network for 3600 seconds of simulation time under a fixed PRNG seed (48392). Its primary pass criterion is execution time (<= 60s). The test also enforces hardcoded upper bounds on `AlarmEvents` (900k) and `RadioEvents` (680k). These limits were tuned with very narrow headroom (~5%) against a specific baseline. Consequently, any subtle PRNG stream shift in the OpenThread stack during node initialization or runtime (e.g., slight variations in MLE advertisement or backoff jitters over a 1-hour simulation) can produce ~3–5% fluctuations in event totals, tripping these thresholds and falsely failing CI even when simulation performance easily passes (e.g. 35s execution time). This commit relaxes the event count thresholds to provide adequate headroom (~15–20% margin) while continuing to catch runaway event loops or true performance regressions: - Increases `AlarmEvents` threshold to 1,100,000 (from 900,000). - Increases `RadioEvents` threshold to 800,000 (from 680,000). --- pylibs/stress_tests/otns_performance.py | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/pylibs/stress_tests/otns_performance.py b/pylibs/stress_tests/otns_performance.py index cdce6efa0..44d927ad4 100755 --- a/pylibs/stress_tests/otns_performance.py +++ b/pylibs/stress_tests/otns_performance.py @@ -109,10 +109,10 @@ def run(self): counter['AlarmEvents'], counter['RadioEvents']) self.result.fail_if(duration > 60, f'Execution Time ({duration}) > 60s') - self.result.fail_if(counter['AlarmEvents'] > 900000, - f"Too many AlarmEvents: {counter['AlarmEvents']} > 900000") - self.result.fail_if(counter['RadioEvents'] > 680000, - f"Too many RadioEvents: {counter['RadioEvents']} > 680000") + self.result.fail_if(counter['AlarmEvents'] > 1100000, + f"Too many AlarmEvents: {counter['AlarmEvents']} > 1100000") + self.result.fail_if(counter['RadioEvents'] > 800000, + f"Too many RadioEvents: {counter['RadioEvents']} > 800000") if __name__ == '__main__':
