[LTP] [PATCH] ioctl_pidfd05: accept both EINVAL and ENOTTY as valid errors

[LTP] [PATCH] ioctl_pidfd05: accept both EINVAL and ENOTTY as valid errors

[Naresh Kamboju]

Latest kernels return ENOTTY instead of EINVAL when invoking
ioctl(pidfd, PIDFD_GET_INFO_SHORT, info_invalid).  Update the test to
accept both EINVAL and ENOTTY as valid errors to ensure compatibility
across different kernel versions.

Thanks a lot for contributing to LTP, we really appreciate it.

very nit: +1 for this. I prefer to reference it differently (e.g. [1]) as I add
Link: for referencing your actual patch the same way how it's used in kernel.

I'm sorry, we prefer these macros in include/tst_test_macros.h which shorten the
code. Could you please use TST_EXP_FAIL_ARR() [1]?

Kind regards,
