Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your work!

I wonder if we could check for GFS2_MAGIC (we'd need to add it to
include/tst_fs.h => 0x01161970) and quit the test with tst_brk(TCONF) if TMPDIR
is not on gfs2.

ATM we don't have any helper in struct tst_test, which would do it.

nit: I'd replace this with [Algorithm].

This should be static (in all files).

make check (or make check-fcntl40) is your friend.

This should also be static.

I wonder if there could be some proactive check instead of sleep.
FYI we have undocumented TST_RETRY_FUNC() in C API.

waitpid() should be replaced by tst_reap_children(), see
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/C-Test-API#18-doing-the-test-in-the-child-process

There is TPASS in child, does it really need to be in the parent as well?
