The SO_TXTIME test depends on accurate timers. In some virtualized environments the test has been reported to be flaky. This is easily reproduced by disabling kvm acceleration in Qemu. Allow greater variance in a run and retry to further reduce flakiness. Observed errors are one of two kinds: either the packet arrives too early or late at recv(), or it was dropped in the qdisc itself and the recv() call times out. In the latter case, the qdisc queues a notification to the error queue of the send socket. Also explicitly report this cause.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
