Ah, hmm, I wasn't aware of that. This would fail on an older kernel,
yes. It's not possible to distinguish between an older kernel and a
kernel where this fix broke (at least not without hardcoding in an
expected good kernel version, which seems undesirable), so that would
mean the test would always return ok or skip, not ok or fail. Is that
ok?

We could synchronize with the child using SIGSTOP instead of sleeping
here. Not sure about getting rid of the tiny sleeps in the child. I
have observed that sched_yield() doesn't reliably trigger context
switches (which isn't surprising). I'll experiment with blocking on a
pipe or something.
