Please do not hesitate to respond to review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally fixup patches in mm-new. The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there most days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Audra Mitchell Subject: selftests/mm: fix soft-dirty kselftest supported check Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 14:17:04 -0400 On architectures with separate user address space, such as s390 or those without an MMU, the soft-dirty kselftest may fail when checking to see if the feature is supported. # -------------------- # running ./soft-dirty # -------------------- # TAP version 13 # 1..15 # Bail out! PAGEMAP_SCAN succeeded unexpectedly # # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 # [FAIL] not ok 1 soft-dirty # exit=1 # SUMMARY: PASS=0 SKIP=0 FAIL=1 The soft-dirty test will initate an ioctl with the PAGEMAP_SCAN flag with an invalid address for the page_region. This is done intentionally to have the ioctl return with an expected EFAULT and with the correct categories returned. However, on architectures with separate user address space, such as s390 or those without an MMU, the call to __access_ok (used to validate the variables provided with the ioctl) will always return true and we will not fail as expected. if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ALTERNATE_USER_ADDRESS_SPACE) || !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MMU)) return true; Let's simplify the check for PAGEMAP_SCAN and provide a valid page_region address so that we get a non-errno return if it is supported.
