Sorry for the late reply. This is kernel test robot team.

Thanks a lot for this info. We followed above steps and confirmed the
test case passes after building it with the header files from linux-
next.

== before installing headers ==

ltp/testcases/kernel/syscalls/ioprio# make

ltp/testcases/kernel/syscalls/ioprio# ./ioprio_set03 
tst_test.c:1558: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 00m 30s
ioprio_set03.c:40: TFAIL: ioprio_set IOPRIO_CLASS_BE prio 8 should not work
ioprio_set03.c:48: TINFO: tested illegal priority with class NONE
ioprio_set03.c:51: TPASS: returned correct error for wrong prio: EINVAL (22)

Thanks for Cyril's input, and indeed it is costy to recompile LTP for
the test on each kernel. Our LTP testsuite is pre-compiled in a debian
11 distribution environment with some old headers, then each test will
retrieve the pre-compiled LTP to run the testcases, so our LTP is not
compiled against the headers of the running kernel.

It requires a major change in our test flow if we want to recompile LTP
with the headers of current running kernel in each run. We will first
evaluate the feasibility of doing so in the bot. Thanks.
