Subject: selftests/harness: Fix interleaved scheduling leading to race conditions
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a86f18903db9211e265cc130b61adb175b7a4c42;p=linux.git

selftests/harness: Fix interleaved scheduling leading to race conditions

Fix a race condition when running several FIXTURE_TEARDOWN() managing
the same resource.  This fixes a race condition in the Landlock file
system tests when creating or unmounting the same directory.

Using clone3() with CLONE_VFORK guarantees that the child and grandchild
test processes are sequentially scheduled.  This is implemented with a
new clone3_vfork() helper replacing the fork() call.

This avoids triggering this error in __wait_for_test():
  Test ended in some other way [127]
