As a fallback for old distros which does not define __NR_syncfs
(the dependency is in the library itself).

This was needed on SLES 11 (kernel 2.6.32).

Fixes: 74aeb88c9 ("tst_device: use raw syscall in the tst_device.h")

Hm, maybe this fix wasn't a good idea.
It effectively uses lapi/syscalls.h everywhere instead of <sys/syscall.h>.
Not sure if this is what we want.

Example of the error is #634 [1], which is caused by __NR_socketcall being -1
instead of not defined (socketcall is not defined on some archs, e.g. x86-64 and ARM).
We can fix the condition, but it will lead to numerous not obvious errors, so I
suggest to revert this (and thus get LTP broken on very old distros).

I'm sorry to break LTP just before release.

Kind regards,
Petr

We already include lapi/syscalls.h at several places, so I wouldn't expect
this to be as bad.

Tests using tst_syscall or ltp_syscall should be fine, since those check
for ENOSYS.

Cyril, any thoughts?

Yes, it's in many places, the same as lapi/syscalls.h:
git grep -l sys/syscall.h |wc -l
136

git grep -l lapi/syscalls.h |wc -l
206

But none of lapi/syscalls.h use is in the API headers (only in API C and tests)

OK, if lapi/syscalls.h include is ok, using tst_syscall() in socketcall01.c is
trivial fix. But I'd worry about these uses:

which IMHO fail unless transformed into tst_syscall/ltp_syscall().

That's why I'd apply my fix https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1225869/.

I would say that doing #ifdef __NR_* in test source to disable it is
wrong to begin with.

Doing 'git grep ifdef __NR' shows only socketcall, set_robust_list and
timerfd tests.

The timerfd tests include lapi/syscalls.h already and uses ltp_syscall()
so that shouldn't break. I guess we can safely remove the ifdef there as
well.

The set_robust_list includes the old test.h so thi change to
tst_device.h should not affect it either.

So as far as I can tell the only thing that breaks are the socketcall
tests and I guess that the actual fix would be using tst_syscall()
instead of syscall() and we can remove the ifdefs as well.

And you could avoid #including lapi/syscalls.h in API headers by simply
moving the implementation of tst_dev_sync() to lib/tst_device.c.

Why do you guys use static inline functions so much anyway? There are no
technical reasons to do that except for default main().

+1. I still think it's not good to include lapi/syscalls.h even it does not
break anything. I'll send a patch which uses tst_syscall in socketcall01.c and
second commit which moves tst_dev_sync() to lib/tst_device.c.
It's up to you if agree on second one.

Kind regards,
Petr
