Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v9] semctl01: fix SEM_STAT failures under parallel LTP runs
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 13:56:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729175611.4161450-1-sbertram@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729145321.4115712-1-sbertram@redhat.com>

SEM_STAT was using the global high index from IPC_INFO, which is not
stable when other IPC tests run in parallel and can abort the test with
TBROK.
