The quilt patch titled
Subject: selftests/membarrier: skip unpermitted membarrier command test if preregistered by libc

of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests/membarrier: skip unpermitted membarrier command test if preregistered by libc
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 14:49:00 +0200
On thread creation, Musl registers the private expedited memory barrier,
see pthread_create [1]. Thus, invoking the barrier command will no longer
be rejected by the kernel with EPERM. The test checking this will fail.
Check if the memory barrier command has been registered and skip the test
in this case.
