Re: [PATCH v12 20/21] selftests/futex: Add futex_priv_hash

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you for adding a selftest for the new uAPI. The recent futex selftests accepted uses the kselftest helpers in a different way than the way you have used. I've attached a diff to exemplify how I would write this selftest. The advantage is to have a TAP output that can be easier used with automated testing, and that would not stop when the first test fails.

Test the basic functionality of the private hash:
- Upon start, with no threads there is no private hash.
- The first thread initializes the private hash.
- More than four threads will increase the size of the private hash if
the system has more than 16 CPUs online.
- Once the user sets the size of private hash, auto scaling is disabled.
- The user is only allowed to use numbers to the power of two.
- The user may request the global or make the hash immutable.
- Once the global hash has been set or the hash has been made immutable,
further changes are not allowed.
- Futex operations should work the whole time. It must be possible to
hold a lock, such a PI initialised mutex, during the resize operation.
