[LTP] [PATCH] futex: Add error coverage tests for wait, wake and cmp_requeue

Michael Menasherov mmenashe@redhat.com
Sun Apr 12 15:40:46 CEST 2026


Improve error handling coverage for futex syscalls by adding tests
for missing error conditions that were previously untested.

futex_wait06 verifies EFAULT is returned when uaddr or timeout
points to unmapped memory.

futex_wait07 verifies EINTR is returned when futex_wait() is
interrupted by a signal.

futex_wake05 verifies EFAULT is returned when uaddr points to
unmapped or PROT_NONE memory.

futex_cmp_requeue03 verifies EFAULT is returned when uaddr or
uaddr2 points to unmapped memory, and EACCES or EFAULT when uaddr
points to memory without read permission (PROT_NONE). The EACCES
behavior was introduced in kernel 5.9.
