Use INT_MAX instead of AF_MAX, since libc might have a smaller value
of AF_MAX than the kernel, what causes the test to fail.

What failure are you seeing? It sounds arbitrary to use INT_MAX
instead of AF_MAX. I think it is important to understand the
failure first.
Please note that AF_MAX is widely used in the kernel.

So the problem arises because the headers we have in userspace might
be older and not match what we have in the kernel. In that case, the
actual value of AF_MAX in the userspace headers might be a valid
protocol family in the new kernel.
That happens relatively often for us because we support different
kernel versions at the same time in a given Ubuntu series.
An alternative is to use the headers we have in the kernel tree, but I
believe that might cause other issues.

Right. This is an evolving use-case for kselftest to make it easier to
run on distribution kernels.

Kselftest is tied to the kernel in such as way that you do need to use
the kernel headers to compile.
Do you run newer tests on older kernels? Where do you build them? What
I would like to see is fixing the test to run on older kernels and not
changing the tests to suit older kernel needs.
This definitely isn't a change that is good to make. We have to come
with a better way to solve this. Could you please send me the errors
you are seeing so I can help you find a better solution.
thanks,

Definitely need to fix this differently.
