Subject: selftests/mm: add fork CoW guard page test
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-add-fork-cow-guard-page-test.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests/mm: add fork CoW guard page test
Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2024 19:07:48 +0000
When we fork anonymous pages, apply a guard page then remove it, the
previous CoW mapping is cleared.
This might not be obvious to an outside observer without taking some time
to think about how the overall process functions, so document that this is
the case through a test, which also usefully asserts that the behaviour is
as we expect.
This is grouped with other, more important, fork tests that ensure that
guard pages are correctly propagated on fork.
Fix a typo in a nearby comment at the same time.
