REGRESSION(r282383): [WPE] Random run-webkit-tests early exits due to timeouts

• Component: WPE WebKit
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Lauro Moura]

Since r282383/241645@main, the WPE release test bot[1] has been either exiting early roughly half the time due to reaching the timeouts limits (50) between 40k and 50k tests run, or the number of unexpected flaky timeouts doubles from ~20 to ~40.

In the GTK-Release, a similar behavior appears but with just 1 or 2 flaky timeouts being more frequent, without major timeouts.

These are a few tests that have been consistently timing out in WPE-Release when the bots exit early (or flaky timeout when the bot passes):

To reproduce the new timeouts, so far I had to run the entire WPE test suite.

Upstream (as of r282464):
* Unexpected timeouts: 48
* Total test time: 2318 seconds

With r282383 reverted:
* Unexpected timeouts: 13
* Total test time: 1333 seconds

With bug230307's patch, the previous behavior is restored.
