Hi Xu,

LGTM (unless Cyril has some objections).

I propose following diff (fix formating, reword; I'll modify it before merge).

Kind regards,
Petr

 If '.needs_tmpdir' is set to '1' in the 'struct tst_test' unique test

 IMPORTANT: Close all file descriptors (that point to files in test temporary
