I'm about to merge the original approach for fanotify20 (just to join split
string):
https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/20260616210448.12175-2-anonymemeow@gmail.com/

I guess these 2 could be merged:
https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/20260810160048.1040517-6-pvorel@suse.cz/
https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/20260810160048.1040517-5-pvorel@suse.cz/

And then we are done with the test fixes, I wonder if it's worth to add
lib/newlib_tests/tst_max_kver_old.c (only this one) from this patchset

https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/20260810160048.1040517-8-pvorel@suse.cz/

Kind regards,
Petr
