for context, it was useful to add the following patch to the discussion:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/glibc/patch/20260604092410.185621-1-panzhe-UOlijcLmZ/[email protected]/

For me it's ok, but we need to see this patch being merged to glibc, before
updating LTP upstream. Please ping us when this will be official.
