Can you elaborate on the benefits if renaming the test?

Also you have such a good information in the cover-letter for this
patch - it would be good to include it in the change log for this
one or the new test.

Okay.



The new test itself is good. I don't understand the value of renaming.
I can see the problems due to not being able to fix stables if the
existing test needs fixing. If there are good reasons for renaming,
I am all for it.

After looking into some git history, now I understand that "sas" actually has some meaning, although I still can't find its full-form :) I thought that sigaltstack would be a better name, but I guess sas is a subset of sigaltstack
as part of SA_ONSTACK. So, let us drop the renaming of the test.


I assume you will be sending a new v6 patch series without the renaming and just the
new test?

I had already sent it:
