Hi Cyril and Petr, thanks for having a look and the discussion !

I'm still quite new to LTP, so I might be understanding things wrong.

My understanding of your conversation is that you're suggesting using 
the .test_variants to have one version of the tests going through the 
libc wrappers as usual, eventually skipping the test with TCONF if the 
libc wrapper does not implement the syscall, and one version which would 
be the the direct syscall I am suggesting in this patch.

Would that be correct ? If so it does make sense to me, I could try 
implementing that.


Best regards,
Téo
