Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v7] shmctl03: Fix 32-bit compat mode failure by adjusting comparisons for compat mode truncation
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 01:39:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821013917.28499-1-wegao@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819083907.26866-1-wegao@suse.com>
On 64-bit kernels, the default shmmax and shmall values often exceed
the range of a 32-bit unsigned long or are clipped differently by the
kernel's compat syscall layer than they appear in /proc.
