Hi!

Sounds good, a few comments below.

Shouldn't these be volatile? Or does the tst_atomic_load() guarantee
that compiler knows that it could be changed from a different process?

We do have a tst_multiply_timeout() in the test library now, shouldn't
we use it for the max_sleep_ms here as well?

Also if we do that it would make sense to keep the timeout in global and
initialize it in the parent, that would save us some runtime.

What's the point of storing the value in the loop, shouldn't it suffice
to do it once before the loop?

I guess that we do not need atomic access once all the children are
waited for.

Here as well, do we really need the atomic load?

Can't we just use a single page? It should be large enough for both
futexes and counters...

I guess that we can as well define a structure with all the parameters
so that we do only a single mmap() later on.
