Subject: [merged mm-stable] selftests-mincore-count-file-mmap-readahead-on-both-sides.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2026 19:00:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807020015.549151F00ACF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests: mincore: count file-mmap readahead on both sides
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mincore-count-file-mmap-readahead-on-both-sides.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests: mincore: count file-mmap readahead on both sides
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:43:19 +0800

check_file_mmap() faults a page in the middle of a file mapping and
expects the mmap read-around path to make neighbouring pages resident. 
The test currently counts only pages after the faulted page.

That misses valid read-around on systems with large base page sizes.  On
arm64 with 64K pages and the default 128K readahead setting, the
read-around window is two pages wide and centred on the faulting page. 
Faulting page 32 makes pages 31 and 32 resident, so the forward-only scan
from page 33 reports ra_pages == 0 even though a neighbouring page was
brought in.

Keep the existing readahead assertion, but count resident neighbouring
pages on both sides of the faulted page.  This fixes the 64K-page false
failure without teaching the selftest to compute the expected readahead
window from sysfs or other implementation details.
