I suppose you talk about in tst_vbrk_ (lib/tst_test.c):

	if (getpid() == lib_pid)
		do_exit(TTYPE_RESULT(ttype));

So would you just do_exit(0) or even just exit(0)?
Or exit 0 for TPASS or TCONF and 1 otherwise (TBROK, TFAIL, TWARN)? Or what
exactly did you meant?

Other option could be to keep library as is and have a custom functions which
"translate" LTP exit codes. I was thinking something like this:

bool tst_exit_status(int status)
{
	if (!WEXITSTATUS(status))
		return false;

	if (WEXITSTATUS(status) == TPASS || WEXITSTATUS(status) == TCONF)
		return true;

	return false;
}

But we actually have check_child_status(pid_t pid, int status) for this:

static void check_child_status(pid_t pid, int status)
{
	int ret;

	if (WIFSIGNALED(status)) {
		tst_brk(TBROK, "Child (%i) killed by signal %s", pid,
			tst_strsig(WTERMSIG(status)));
	}

	if (!(WIFEXITED(status)))
		tst_brk(TBROK, "Child (%i) exited abnormally", pid);

	ret = WEXITSTATUS(status);
	switch (ret) {
	case TPASS:
	case TBROK:
	case TCONF:
	break;
	default:
		tst_brk(TBROK, "Invalid child (%i) exit value %i", pid, ret);
	}
}

BTW I'm surprised that there is TBROK whitelisted.

Well, what I fear more is to broke even more tests :). But if you consider is
useful enough I can do the cleanup.

Kind regards,
