"replay" test on target alpha is flaky due to RCU change
Host environment
- Operating system: Fedora 42
- OS/kernel version: 6.17
- Architecture: x86_64
- QEMU flavor: qemu-system-alpha
- QEMU version: >= 55d98e3e
- QEMU command line:
pyvenv/bin/meson test --no-rebuild -t 1 --setup thorough \
--num-processes 1 --repeat 10 func-alpha-replay
Emulated/Virtualized environment
- Operating system: Linux
- OS/kernel version: 2.6.26
- Architecture: alpha
Description of problem
Since commit 55d98e3e ("rcu: Unify force quiescent state") has been merged, the replay test for the alpha target got flaky and is failing with a ~ 50% chance, also causing failures in the Gitlab CI now, see e.g. https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/11984309870 .
Steps to reproduce
- Run the test a couple of times (see command line above)
