Flaky test sequential/test-http2-settings-flood

  • Version: master
  • Platform: AIX p158a05 1 7 00CCB1C24C00
  • Subsystem: v8?

The test in sequential/test-http2-settings-flood sometimes fails on AIX PPC64 with SIGILL and no other output (about 4/100 times). Bisecting points to @ronag’s cd6b00d, which obviously shouldn’t be causing that issue. It doesn’t reproduce when running the test with --jitless, so my best guess would be that it’s a V8 issue on PPC.

I can’t really debug this any further, the issue doesn’t seem to reproduce under gdb and core dumps don’t seem helpful, so it would be great if somebody in @nodejs/platform-aix (@miladfarca?) could take a look. In the short term, I guess we could also revert the commit above, although that’s obviously not ideal.
