Subject: [PATCH 2/2] selftests/namespaces: add uid_map/gid_map range tests
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 10:25:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928072537.115668-3-natalie.klaus@runtimeverification.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260928072537.115668-1-natalie.klaus@runtimeverification.com>

Check that a uid_map or gid_map line with a value that does not fit in
u32 is rejected with EINVAL and installs nothing, for each of the three
fields, and that an in-range line is still accepted and reads back
unchanged.
