It passes sometimes, which is why I gave my Tested-by, but it can still fail the same way as I originally said. assert() at protection_keys.c::812 test_nr: 19 iteration: 1 running abort_hooks()... errno at assert: 12 I think the parent process needs to wait for all it's child processes (recursively). This is due to the test_pkey_alloc_exhaust() calling become_child(), where it exits, and that exit may be from the original PID. Thanks, Joey

The atexit() is called from parent process as well as forked processes. Hence the child restores the settings at exit while the parent is still executing. Fix this by checking pid of atexit() calling process and only restore THP number from parent process.
