Subject: [merged mm-stable] selftests-mm-split_huge_page_test-cleanups-for-split_pte_mapped_thp-test.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 14:25:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250921212519.37ABCC4CEE7@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: cleanups for split_pte_mapped_thp test
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-split_huge_page_test-cleanups-for-split_pte_mapped_thp-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: split_huge_page_test: cleanups for split_pte_mapped_thp test
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 09:02:53 +0200
There is room for improvement, so let's clean up a bit:
(1) Define "4" as a constant.
(2) SKIP if we fail to allocate all THPs (e.g., fragmented) and add
recovery code for all other failure cases: no need to exit the test.
(3) Rename "len" to thp_area_size, and "one_page" to "thp_area".
(4) Allocate a new area "page_area" into which we will mremap the
pages; add "page_area_size". Now we can easily merge the two
mremap instances into a single one.
(5) Iterate THPs instead of bytes when checking for missed THPs after
mremap.
(6) Rename "pte_mapped2" to "tmp", used to verify mremap(MAP_FIXED)
result.
(7) Split the corruption test from the failed-split test, so we can just
iterate bytes vs. thps naturally.
(8) Extend comments and clarify why we are using mremap in the first
place.
