I'm getting three test failures and hope I can get someone to help.
The test failures are ipcs/mk-rm-msg, ipcs/mk-rm-sem, and ipcs/mk-rm-shm.
Concentrating on mk-rm-msg, I found on the system:
./tests/output/ipcs/mk-rm-msg
./tests/ts/ipcs/mk-rm-msg
./tests/expected/ipcs/mk-rm-msg
The contents of the output and the expected files are identical:
Message queue id: <was_number>
1
Message queue id: <was_number>
I am running the tests as a non-privileged user.
If I run the commands:
$ ipcmk -Q (returns 24)
$ ipcs -q -i 24
$ ipcrm -q 24
$ echo $?
0
Everything looks OK. Does anyone have an idea why this test (these tests)
are failing?
I had no time to play with it yet, but according to feedback from
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/1042 there is some kernel
regression:
The ipcs tests are failing due to a regression in kernels 5.6.8
through 5.6.13. Or mainline commits between
89163f93c6f969da5811af5377cc10173583123b and
5e698222c70257d13ae0816720dde57c56f81e15 (apparently including your
5.7.0-rc0).
Thanks. I'll try 5.6.14 and report back.
