Just a note: both compile and works the same (i.e. both are correct), but of
course the variant you suggested (fd = TST_EXP_FD_OR_FAIL...) is clearer.

This is because newer macros use ({  ...  TST_RET; }). But the original macro
TEST() use do { ... } while (0), that's why we slightly ugly code:

$ git grep 'TEST.*(fd ='
testcases/kernel/syscalls/fsconfig/fsconfig01.c:        TEST(fd = fsopen(tst_device->fs_type, 0));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/fsconfig/fsconfig02.c:        TEST(fd = fsopen(tst_device->fs_type, 0));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/fsconfig/fsconfig03.c:        TEST(fd = fsopen(tst_device->fs_type, 0));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/fsmount/fsmount02.c:  TEST(fd = fsopen(tst_device->fs_type, 0));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/fsopen/fsopen01.c:    TEST(fd = fsopen(tst_device->fs_type, tc->flags));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/move_mount/move_mount01.c:    TEST(fd = fsopen(tst_device->fs_type, 0));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/move_mount/move_mount02.c:    TEST(fd = fsopen(tst_device->fs_type, 0));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/mq_open/mq_open01.c:  TEST(fd = mq_open(qname, tc->oflag, S_IRWXU, tc->rq));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/name_to_handle_at/name_to_handle_at01.c:      TEST(fd = open_by_handle_at(*tc->dfd, fhp, tc->flags));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/open_by_handle_at/open_by_handle_at01.c:      TEST(fd = open_by_handle_at(*tc->dfd, *tc->fhp, tc->flags));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/open_by_handle_at/open_by_handle_at02.c:      TEST(fd = open_by_handle_at(tc->dfd, *tc->fhp, tc->flags));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/openat2/openat201.c:  TEST(fd = openat2(*tc->dfd, tc->pathname, myhow, tc->size));
testcases/kernel/syscalls/socket/socket01.c:    TEST(fd = socket(tc->domain, tc->type, tc->proto));

Anyway, this could be fixed before merge if this is a single thing to fix, but I
worry about agents findings:

Kind regards,
