Then executed the same test cases again on the installed kernel.

root@powerkvmpok002:/opt/ltp/testcases/bin# ./lock_torture.sh
lock_torture 1 TCONF : test must be run with kernel 3.18 or newer
lock_torture 1 TINFO : cleanup

As can be seen, the kernel supported to execute these tests should be 3.18 or above.
