[PATCH v2] selftests/futex: Convert 32bit timespec struct to 64bit version for 32bit compatibility mode
Posted by Terry Tritton 3 months, 1 week ago
Futex_waitv can not accept old_timespec32 struct, so userspace should
convert it from 32bit to 64bit before syscall in 32bit compatible mode.

This fix is based off [1]

This is still wrong.

If it is based on someone else work, then you need to attribute it
Originally-by and omit the Signed-off-by of the original author.

If you just picked it up and adopted it to a later kernel version then
you need to add 'From: Original Author' and preserve his Signed-off-by.

If you collaborated with him, then you want to use Co-developed-by.

All of this is documented in Documentation/process/

Ah sorry, I thought it was just the order that was wrong.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

@Terry @Thomas, Thank you both for the mention in the commit. I appreciate being included.
I guess above options both good.

No problem!
Not sure how often this situation comes up where an ltp patch is also
needed in kselftest.
