OK

I'm OK with your approach as long as the tests are deterministic,
whatever FD 0 is (or not), and as long at they don't have an impact on
FD 0. To make it more generic and to avoid side effects, I think we
should (always) close FD 0 in ioctl_error() (and explain the reason).

Yes, it looks good.
