[LTP] [PATCH v2 33/33] keyctl39: Negative tests for KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY
Andrea Cervesato

Fri Sep 4 14:09:22 CEST 2026
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Add negative test cases for KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY verifying invalid
watch_id values, bogus key ids, missing View permission, invalid
file descriptors, non-watch-queue pipes, and removal of watches
on unwatched keys.
