This exposes internal kernel symbol to userspace.
Why would want to test that?

Doing s/sleep/SLEEP/g doesn't change kernel but now the test is broken.

Test should be "contains C identifier" then?

Redundant close().

Redundant close().

Racy if child is scheduled out after first close in the child.
