Hi!
I've pushed all patches but this one, since it actually looks like a
test bug when we oops the kernel since the test gets SIGKILL, which is
the same signal the library uses for a timeout:
$ ./keyctl07
tst_test.c:958: INFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s
keyctl07.c:72: INFO: trying to read from the negative key...
tst_test.c:1008: INFO: If you are running on slow machine, try
exporting LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL > 1
tst_test.c:1009: BROK: Test killed! (timeout?)
Can we, pretty please, run the test in a child process and wait it in
the test function and report a failure instead? I fear that kind of test
output will confuse people into thinking that this is a test problem
rather than a kernel bug.
