[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/msgsnd01: Add check for msg_lspid and msg_stime

[Cyril Hrubis]

Hi!
I've changed how we do the timestamp check and pushed, thanks.

The timestamp check now takes time before the call and after the call
and checks that the timestamp is between these two, which in 99.9999% of
cases would be the same numbers so this is much stronger assertion than
you had there before.
