Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 5/5] selftests/resctrl: Return KSFT_SKIP(4) if
 resctrlfile system is not supported or resctrl is not run as root

Hi Shaopeng Tan,

Subject line still with typo. Also, what does "resctrl is not run as root"
mean? Do you mean "resctrl_tests"? The subject line can be made more succinct
while the details are moved to the commit message.

Please review the feedback I provided to your first version. I do not
see the explanation of how changing ksft_exit_fail_msg() to 
ksft_exit_skip() accomplishes the goal of unifying the return code.
It surely is not a good use of my time to review patches and have the
feedback ignored.
