[PATCH] Add cancellation test for getpwuid_r.
- From: Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat dot com>
- To: GNU C Library <libc-alpha at sourceware dot org>

- Subject: [PATCH] Add cancellation test for getpwuid_r.
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
Add a regression test for the fix in 312be3f9f5eab1643d7dcc7728c76d413d4f2640
which corrects cancellation problems around getpwuid_r.
No regressions on x86_64. Test hangs without the aformentioned fix, but passes
after the fix.
OK to checkin?

+ signal to the main thread that it is as close as it can be to the

+ cancellable function calls between the sem_post and the call to
+ getpwuid_r. The main thread then attempts to cancel the second
+ thread. Without the fixes the cancellation happens at any number of
