    x86/selftests/pkeys: Fork() to check for state being preserved · e1812933
    Dave Hansen authored
    There was a bug where the per-mm pkey state was not being preserved across
    fork() in the child.  fork() is performed in the pkey selftests, but all of
    the pkey activity is performed in the parent.  The child does not perform
    any actions sensitive to pkey state.
    
    To make the test more sensitive to these kinds of bugs, add a fork() where
    the parent exits, and execution continues in the child.
    
    To achieve this let the key exhaustion test not terminate at the first
    allocation failure and fork after 2*NR_PKEYS loops and continue in the
    child.
