[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: tools/testing/selftests: add VMA merge tests for KSM merge
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     tools-testing-selftests-add-vma-merge-tests-for-ksm-merge.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/tools-testing-selftests-add-vma-merge-tests-for-ksm-merge.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything
branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there every 2-3 working days

Subject: tools/testing/selftests: add VMA merge tests for KSM merge
Date: Thu, 29 May 2025 18:15:48 +0100

Add test to assert that we have now allowed merging of VMAs when KSM
merging-by-default has been set by prctl(PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE, ...).

We simply perform a trivial mapping of adjacent VMAs expecting a merge,
however prior to recent changes implementing this mode earlier than
before, these merges would not have succeeded.

Assert that we have fixed this!
