RE: [PATCH 4.4 00/92] 4.4.133-stable review

[Daniel Sangorrin]

Hello Rafael,

The tests fcntl35 and fcntl35_64 should have go from FAIL to PASS.
https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg239475.html

Looking at
https://qa-reports.linaro.org/lkft/linux-stable-rc-4.4-oe/build/v4.4.132-93-g915a3d7cdea9/testrun/228569/suite/ltp-syscalls-tests/tests/
I see that these two tests (and other important tests as well) are being SKIPPED.

By the way, I see that select04 FAILS in your case. But in my setup, select04 was working fine (x86_64) in 4.4.132. I will confirm that it still works in 4.4.133

Thanks,
Daniel Sangorrin
