[LTP] [PATCH v1 1/3] fsetxattr02: Adapt test for kernel 7.0+ socket xattr support

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Jan,

I double checked kernel version for dc0876b9846d.

$ git tag --contains dc0876b9846d3d48bb8528332106d1b051578a02
next-20260305
next-20260306
next-20260309

=> IMHO it will be for v7.1. And indeed, current LTP master works on openSUSE
7.0.0-rc2-2.g0bfc1b0-default kernel and fails with your patch.

It should be tst_kvercmp(7, 1, 0) >= 0

Kind regards,
