[PATCH v2] selftests/futex: Skip futex_waitv tests if ENOSYS
From: Wake Liu
Date: Fri Aug 08 2025 - 03:27:50 EST
The futex_waitv() syscall was introduced in Linux 5.16. The existing
test in futex_wait_timeout.c will fail on kernels older than 5.16
due to the syscall not being implemented.
Modify the test_timeout() function to check if the error returned
is ENOSYS. If it is, skip the test and report it as such, rather than
failing. This ensures the selftests can be run on a wider range of
kernel versions without false negatives.
