Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/1] selftests/mm: skip soft-dirty tests when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:34:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014023428.26814-1-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025101329-cyclic-cylinder-9e6b@gregkh>

From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>

The madv_populate and soft-dirty kselftests currently fail on systems
where CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled.

Introduce a new helper softdirty_supported() into vm_util.c/h to ensure
tests are properly skipped when the feature is not enabled.

Fixes: 9f3265db6ae8 ("selftests: vm: add test for Soft-Dirty PTE bit")
