Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] selftests/mm/charge_reserved_hugetlb: fix hugetlbfs mount size for large hugepages
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2025 16:58:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251221085810.3163919-4-liwang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251221085810.3163919-1-liwang@redhat.com>
charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh mounts a hugetlbfs instance at /mnt/huge with
a fixed size of 256M. On systems with large base hugepages (e.g. 512MB),
this is smaller than a single hugepage, so the hugetlbfs mount ends up
with effectively zero capacity (often visible as size=0 in mount output).
As a result, write_to_hugetlbfs fails with ENOMEM and the test can hang
waiting for progress.

HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 524288 kB
Hugetlb: 5242880 kB
Mount hugetlbfs with size=${size}, the number of bytes the test will
reserve/write, so the filesystem capacity is sufficient regardless of
HugeTLB page size.
