[LTP] LTP: tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall is failing

[Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>]

Hi Steve,

tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall is failing. I was able to reproduce it on
* openSUSE Tumbleweed with libtirpc 1.3.3
* Debian stable  11 (bullseye) with libtirpc 1.3.1-1

OTOH SLE 15-SP4 with libtirpc 1.2.6 is working.

1

The problem is in tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall.c [1], which calls rpcb_rmtcall(), which
returns 1 (I suppose RPC_CANTENCODEARGS - can't encode arguments - enum
clnt_stat from tirpc/rpc/clnt_stat.h):

	cs = rpcb_rmtcall(nconf, argc[1], progNum, VERSNUM, PROCNUM,
			  (xdrproc_t) xdr_int, (char *)&var_snd,
			  (xdrproc_t) xdr_int, (char *)&var_rec, tv, &svcaddr);

	test_status = (cs == RPC_SUCCESS) ? 0 : 1;

	//This last printf gives the result status to the tests suite
	//normally should be 0: test has passed or 1: test has failed
	printf("%d\n", test_status);

	return test_status;

Any idea what could be wrong with these very old tests?

Kind regards,
Petr
