Dear Linux folks,


Running the selftests in a QEMU q35 VM, they hang.

Ctrl + c gets me back to the shell prompt.

```
$ ps auxf

During shutdown, the system waits for that process:

     [42733.704347] systemd-shutdown[1]: Waiting for process: 31578 
(pidfd_setns_tes)

This is commit 8d025e2092e2 with one patch on top:

     $ git log --no-decorate --oneline -2 a2ce022afcbb
     a2ce022afcbb [PATCH] kbuild: Disable KCSAN for autogenerated 
*.mod.c intermediaries
     8d025e2092e2 Merge tag 'erofs-for-6.9-rc2-fixes' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs

KCSAN is not enabled though.


Kind regards,

Paul
