Hi Ricardo,

> We test it with UFFD_PAGEFAULT_FLAG_MINOR.
Thanks, minor things below.

We have this in testcases/kernel/syscalls/memfd_create/memfd_create_common.c.
Moving it as static inline into include/lapi/memfd.h would help to DRY.

Maybe SAFE_SYSCONF(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) or because it should be safe:
getpagesize();

This is not needed, see include/tst_safe_macros.h

#define SAFE_CLOSE(fd) do { \
		safe_close(__FILE__, __LINE__, NULL, (fd)); \
		fd = -1; \
	} while (0)

And here.

Maybe have it as setup function instead of calling it manually at the beginning of run()?
I'm not sure if it justifies, but remember possible running -i1000.

THe rest LGTM.

Kind regards,
