The changelog from their fix explains the issue very clearly: I was about to send Tiezhu Yang's fix to Linus. I'll rebase mm-hotfixes-stable to drop that patch, so you own it now!

In fact it seems to be the first time this has been used. Grepping for "Original-.*:" shows all sorts of innovations, including "Based-on-the-original-screenplay-by:". I guess Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst and checkpatch lost this fight a long time ago.

If it is possible, I think it is better to rebase linux-kselftest next to do the following things sequentially. (1) Apply patch "selftests/clone3: Fix broken test under !CONFIG_TIME_NS" which is sent on 11 Jul 2023. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/1689066814-13295-1-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn/ (2) Squash the changes in patch "selftests/clone3: Skip new time namespace test when unsupported" https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20231020-kselftest-clone3-time-ns-v1-1-31a17e072a05@kernel.org/ into patch "selftests/clone3: Report descriptive test names", and then apply it. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20231018-kselftest-clone3-output-v1-1-12b7c50ea2cf@kernel.org/ This can make the log more clear. Anyway, I am fine with either way. Thanks, Tiezhu

I think I was expecting Tiezhu's version to still get sent and then the two versions to get merged - the refactoring that caused the conflict is very clearly not stable material. > > Original-fix-from: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn> > "Original-fix-from" isn't a thing.

Well, they've always been documenting existing practice.

Use a filter function to skip the time namespace test on systems with !CONFIG_TIME_NS. This reworks a fix originally done by Tiezhu Yang prior to the refactoring in 34dce23f7e40 ("selftests/clone3: Report descriptive test names"). The changelog from their fix explains the issue very clearly: When execute the following command to test clone3 under !CONFIG_TIME_NS: # make headers && cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3 we can see the following error info: # [7538] Trying clone3() with flags 0x80 (size 0) # Invalid argument - Failed to create new process # [7538] clone3() with flags says: -22 expected 0 not ok 18 [7538] Result (-22) is different than expected (0) ... # Totals: pass:18 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 This is because if CONFIG_TIME_NS is not set, but the flag CLONE_NEWTIME (0x80) is used to clone a time namespace, it will return -EINVAL in copy_time_ns(). If kernel does not support CONFIG_TIME_NS, /proc/self/ns/time will be not exist, and then we should skip clone3() test with CLONE_NEWTIME. With this patch under !CONFIG_TIME_NS: # make headers && cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3 ... # Time namespaces are not supported ok 18 # SKIP Skipping clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME ... # Totals: pass:18 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0 Fixes: 515bddf0ec41 ("selftests/clone3: test clone3 with CLONE_NEWTIME") Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Original-fix-from: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> --- tools/testing/selftests/clone3/clone3.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) --- base-commit: 8d4099dd0727acfc8b0f644eacaf852f9d5dc649 change-id: 20231019-kselftest-clone3-time-ns-730b6f4187c7 Best regards,
