+Subject: [PATCH] XFAIL TestLocalPath.test_make_numbered_dir_multiprocess_safe
+
+The tested py.path.local.make_numbered_dir function is *not*
+multiprocess safe, because is uses os.listdir which itself is not.
+
+The os.listdir documentation explicitly states that:
+
+> If a file is removed from or added to the directory during the call
+> of this function, whether a name for that file be included is unspecified.
+
+This can lead to a race when:
+
+ 1. process A attempts to create directory N
+ 2. the creation fails, as another process already created it in the meantime
+ 3. process A calls listdir to determine a more recent maxnum
+ 4. processes B+ repeatedly create newer directories and they delete directory N
+ 5. process A doesn't have directory N or any newer directory in listdir result
+ 6. process A attempts to create directory N again and raises
+
+For details, see https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11603#issuecomment-1805708144
+and bellow.
+
+Additionally, the test itself has a race in batch_make_numbered_dirs.
+When this functions attempts to write to repro-N/foo,
+repro-N may have already been removed by another process.
+
+For details, see https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11603#issuecomment-1804714313
+and bellow.
+
+---
+
+The tested py.path.local.make_numbered_dir function is not used in pytest.
+There is a different implementation in _pytest.pathlib.
+
+We plan to remove this module eventually anyway.
