[LTP] [PATCH] inotify06: kernel version fix

[Cedric Hnyda]

inotify06 is a regression test for kernels >= 4.2.
Add a condition so that only >= 4.2 kernels can run the test
because previous kernel are likely to crash because of the test.

No, it's a regression test for a bug that was fixed in 4.2 and
backported to stable kernel branches. It's okay that it brings down
unpatched kernels, since they are buggy and should be updated.
