Subject: selftest/mm: register existing mapping with userfaultfd in hugepage-mremap
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:55:34 +0530
Previously, register_region_with_uffd() created a new anonymous mapping
and overwrote the address supplied by the caller before registering the
range with userfaultfd.
As a result, userfaultfd was applied to an unrelated anonymous mapping
instead of the hugetlb region used by the test.
Remove the extra mmap() and register the caller-provided address range
directly using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING, so that faults are generated
for the hugetlb mapping used by the test.
This ensures userfaultfd operates on the actual hugetlb test region and
validates the expected fault handling.
Before patch:
running ./hugepage-mremap
-------------------------
TAP version 13
1..1
Map haddr: Returned address is 0x7eaa40000000
Map daddr: Returned address is 0x7daa40000000
Map vaddr: Returned address is 0x7faa40000000
Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fff9d000000
Mremap: Returned address is 0x7faa40000000
First hex is 0
First hex is 3020100
ok 1 Read same data
Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
[PASS]
ok 1 hugepage-mremap
After patch:
