I don't think so.  I've only been able to trip this problem with a
couple of corner cases in my Go uapi test suite.
I have been unable to reproduce it with the tools as it requires
multiple requests with the same chip fd, including an as-is, to trip.

And running the libgpiod tests against v5.5-rc1 works for me.
Can you provide more details as to the errors you are seeing?

Btw, I was writing tests for your LINEINFO_WATCH patch v2, which I was
applying to v5.5-rc1, when I ran across this.  That works ok if I
__packed the changed struct.
And I can confirm that patch v2 doesn't isolate watches on different
chip fds.

Kent.
