Subject: selftests/mm: skip uffd-stress test when nr_pages_per_cpu is zero
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 17:55:37 +0530
uffd-stress currently fails when the computed nr_pages_per_cpu
evaluates to zero:
nr_pages_per_cpu = bytes / page_size / nr_parallel
This can occur on systems with large hugepage sizes (e.g. 1GB) and a
high number of CPUs, where the total allocated memory is sufficient
overall but not enough to provide at least one page per cpu.
In such cases, the failure is due to insufficient test resources
rather than incorrect kernel behaviour. Update the test
to treat this condition as a test skip instead of reporting an error.
