Hi Yang,

one more note:

BTW the same approach is used in include/lapi/openat2.h

void openat2_supported_by_kernel(void)
{
	if ((tst_kvercmp(5, 6, 0)) < 0) {
		/* Check if the syscall is backported on an older kernel */
		TEST(syscall(__NR_openat2, -1, NULL, NULL, 0));
		if (TST_RET == -1 && TST_ERR == ENOSYS)
			tst_brk(TCONF, "Test not supported on kernel version < v5.6");
	}
}

and clone3_supported_by_kernel(). Both merged by Cyril.

To be honest I like this approach, because 1) it defines when new syscall was
backported 2) if there is really problem that some functionality was removed, we
can always handle it. But IMHO that's going to be rare (btrfs removed in RHEL 8
is IMHO because RHEL does not want to support it, but that would not happen for
syscalls).

I'd also like to be consistent how we handle these new syscalls.

Kind regards,
Petr
