Correct, before 7a3741679d it was 1:

-int main(void)
+static void run(void)
 {
-	char filename[PATH_MAX];
-	int pid[NUM_CHILDREN];
-	int num_children = 1;
+	char *filename = "file";
+	int filesize = FILE_SIZE;
+	int num_children = NUM_CHILDREN;

But I wonder why changing just the first dio_truncate will fix it
(obviously not). Could we detect RT and force -n 1 for it?
(utsname.version should have "PREEMPT RT"). Obviously only from version which
got affected.

Kind regards,
Petr
