Hi!

Thanks a lot for the detailed writeup!

Will look into this patch.

And into this as well.

> hugetlb tests sometimes failed to request sufficient huge pages, even we

I guess that this will have to wait to be fixed after the release.

From my point of view the ioctl_ns tests failures with -m32 are worth
fixing and that together with the afl_alg02 and numa issues should be
everything that needs to be taken care of before the release.
