Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] selftests/futex: Check for shmget support at runtime
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2025 20:00:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807120042.1761685-2-wakel@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250807120042.1761685-1-wakel@google.com>
The futex tests `futex_wait.c` and `futex_waitv.c` rely on the `shmget()`
syscall, which may not be available if the kernel is built without
System V IPC support (CONFIG_SYSVIPC=n). This can lead to test
failures on such systems.
This patch modifies the tests to check for `shmget()` support at
runtime by calling it and checking for an `ENOSYS` error. If `shmget()`
is not supported, the tests are skipped with a clear message,
improving the user experience and preventing false negatives.
This approach is more robust than relying on compile-time checks and
ensures that the tests run only when the required kernel features are
present.
