Well, ltp is quite old and some parts are legacy from old times, some parts are
just badly written and there is no manpower to fix that in short amount of
time. Instead of that we are trying to fix ltp incrementally. So when some test
are constantly reporting failures they are most likely broken. One sane way how
to intepret results from ltp is to compare results between kernel/system
updates and watch for changes (this generates half to half chance to catch real
bugs caused by changes in codebase the rest are just broken tests that needs to
be fixed).
