That should certainly be fine.

I'd be highly surprised if it's related to your patches! Here's what I
get on the current kernel:

axboe@m2max-kvm ~/g/liburing (master)> test/read-mshot.t
axboe@m2max-kvm ~/g/liburing (master)> echo $status
0

and on an older 6.6-stable that doesn't support it:

axboe@m2max-kvm ~/g/liburing (master)> test/read-mshot.t
skip
axboe@m2max-kvm ~/g/liburing (master) [77]> echo $status
77

and then I tried 6.1 since that seems to be your base and get the same
result as 6.6-stable. So not quite sure why it fails on your end, but in
any case, I pushed a commit that I think will sort it for you.

Exactly, that's the plan. Thanks!
