BTW what particular use case this fixed? Is it backported to some android
kernel? Or to some enterprise distro? Because I don't think kernel stable trees
accept new functionality, just fixes.

Oops, should I use .min_kver instead?  It isn't backported on Android;
I just wasn't sure what the right approach was.

Actually, looking into SLES kernel sources, we backported close_range() to SLES
15-SP3 (bsc#1179090), which was 5.3.18 based. Thus you actually did good work :).

@Li, @Jan out of curiosity, was this backported to RHEL kernel as well?
It'd be useful to note that (one day we will be able to remove it once kernels
which backported are EOL).

Kind regards,
Petr

Yes, it's present in 8.4 since kernel-4.18.0-290.el8.

Jan, thanks a lot!

@Edward we have Hackweek at SUSE, I'll merge this on Monday,
noting the reason why to keep this instead simple .min_kver.

Hi Edward, Petr,

Sorry for the late append reply.

Using tst_kvercmp together with ENOSYS check is a repetitive practice,
I think verifying the returned value and errno is quite enough to determine
an un-support syscall.

And there is possible a lite kernel version newer than 5.9 removes this
syscall support. Then this test will fail again because this tst_kvercmp
skips the ENOSYS check.

Otherwise:

Hi,

hm, I was too fast to merge it. Looking at older result, 
It looks like this (merged as 7b5ee03899) was not needed,
because tst_syscall() properly detects missing support:

close_range01.c:134: TINFO: Plain close range
../../../../include/lapi/close_range.h:25: TCONF: syscall(436) __NR_close_range not supported on your arch

@Edward: Before we revert it, did you encounter some problem that it's really
needed? If yes, please share details.

[Edward Liaw via ltp]

Hey Petr,

We turned on the HAVE_CLOSE_RANGE flag to test the bionic-defined
close_range on Android, but doing so bypasses tst_syscall in
include/lapi/close_range.h.  We don't currently have a way to
configure ltp differently across each kernel version, so I wanted to
use this check as a fallback to gate earlier kernels.

Thanks,
Edward

Thanks for info. OK, at least it's needed :).
If these fixes would be needed for more syscalls, we might want to check if
there is a way to enhance tst_syscall() (likely there is no way).

Also (for next time) it's always safe to be more verbose for the reason in the
commit message to prevent cleanup of workarounds too early (before EOL of that
particular kernel).

Petr

Thanks, I will do that in the future.  This is the only time I've

another.
