Re: [uclibc-ng-devel] [PATCH] Fix tst-mallocfork test

This test was changed from using fork to vfork by: https://cgit.uclibc-ng.org/cgi/cgit/uclibc-ng.git/commit/?id=822e4896c1072b… This change was wrong because man page says the child of vfork() must ONLY do either: - a call to one of exec(2) - a call to _exit(2) - get killed by a signal BUT the test case does: - a call to kill - and also a call to exit(3) and not _exit(2) This test produces a double free() causing assert in free because this is called several times: https://elixir.bootlin.com/uclibc-ng/latest/source/libc/stdlib/_atexit.c#L2… So, it seems wrong both in theory (according to man page) and in fact in practice (assert in free). Here I propose to get back to testing fork(), which is the original test case from: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=838 And to just "PASS" on no-mmu systems. For the record, here is the assert call stack: FAIL tst-mallocfork got 1 expected 0 ./tst-mallocfork: libc/stdlib/malloc-standard/malloc.c: 149: __do_check_inuse_chunk: Assertion `((((mchunkptr)(((char*)(p))+((p)->size & ~0x1)))->size) & 0x1)' failed.
