Message-ID: <20260424152911.8A98EC19425@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: run the MAP_DROPPABLE selftest
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch. Its filename is
selftests-mm-run-the-map_droppable-selftest.patch
This patch will shortly appear at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/selftests-mm-run-the-map_droppable-selftest.patch
This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at

Subject: selftests/mm: run the MAP_DROPPABLE selftest
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:39:39 -0700
The test was not being run by the selftest framework so it was never
noticed that it would fail with an assertion failure on configs without
support for MAP_DROPPABLE. Update the test so that it is skipped instead
when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported, and add it to the mmap category so
that the test is run by the framework.
