Heh! you can write a small C program instead, you don't even need to
build the LTP test.

It is clear what the failed test is doing:

static void test_invalid_fd(void)
{
        int fd[2];

        tst_res(TINFO, "%s pipe", __func__);
        SAFE_PIPE(fd);
        TST_EXP_FAIL(readahead(fd[0], 0, getpagesize()), EINVAL);
        SAFE_CLOSE(fd[0]);
        SAFE_CLOSE(fd[1]);

        tst_res(TINFO, "%s socket", __func__);
        fd[0] = SAFE_SOCKET(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
        TST_EXP_FAIL(readahead(fd[0], 0, getpagesize()), EINVAL);
        SAFE_CLOSE(fd[0]);
}

The report claims that readahead on socket succeeds
and this is surprising.

Thanks,
Amir.
