The body only restates how the test was converted. Please explain why the
conversion is needed.

The body only restates how the test was converted. Please explain why the
conversion is needed.

The body describes the wrapper and its callers, but not why the shared
wrapper is needed. Please add the motivation.

This body contains one statement. Please remove the braces as required by
LTP C style.

CP_SPRAYED is signaled before the waiter enters PR_SET_MM_MAP, so nothing
ensures that sched_setattr() overlaps the controlled kernel-stack buffer.
Use the PoC's page-boundary and hole-punch mechanism, or an equivalent
mechanism that guarantees a usable overlap; otherwise a vulnerable kernel
can complete all attempts and incorrectly report TPASS.

Verdict - Needs revision
