Subject: Re: [LTP] [PATCH v9] mremap07.c: New test for mremap() with MREMAP_DONTUNMAP

> v8->v9:
> - Removed `MREMAP_DONTUNMAP` check from `configure.ac` and moved fallback to `include/lapi/mmap.h`.
> - Renamed address variables to `old_addr` and `new_addr` for clarity.
> - Replaced hardcoded strings with `TEST_STRING_A` and `TEST_STRING_B` macros.
> - Improved code formatting and indentation.
> - Removed `.min_kver = "5.7"` in favor of dynamic feature detection.
> - Added runtime `EINVAL` check to trigger `TCONF` on unsupported kernels.
> - Added verification logic for data content at `new_addr`.
> - Fixed stability issues for multiple test iterations (`-i` option).
Patch merged with some improvements (for better readability and reliability):
