[PATCH v2 8/9] selftests/harness: Share _metadata between forked processes

From: Mickaël Salaün
Date: Mon Apr 29 2024 - 09:11:08 EST


Unconditionally share _metadata between all forked processes, which
enables to actually catch errors which were previously ignored.

This is required for a following commit replacing vfork() with clone3()
and CLONE_VFORK (i.e. not sharing the full memory) . It should also be
useful to share _metadata to extend expectations to test process's
forks. For instance, this change identified a wrong expectation in
pidfd_setns_test.
