[PATCH 3/3] userfaultfd/selftests: don't rely on GNU extensions for random numbers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Two arguments for doing this:

First, and maybe most importantly, the resulting code is significantly
shorter / simpler.

Then, we avoid using GNU libc extensions. Why does this matter? It makes
testing userfaultfd with the selftest easier e.g. on distros which use
something other than glibc (e.g., Alpine, which uses musl); basically,
it makes the test more portable.
