The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/dax: add dax/kmem hotplug sysfs regression test
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-dax-add-dax-kmem-hotplug-sysfs-regression-test.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/dax: add dax/kmem hotplug sysfs regression test
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 11:45:04 -0400

Add a kselftest for the dax/kmem whole-device "state" sysfs attribute
(/sys/bus/dax/devices/daxX.Y/state), which transitions a kmem-backed
dax device between "unplugged", "online" and "online_movable".

The kselftest also includes a test to demonstrate the force-unbind
does not deadlock - but this is destructive (the dax device can never
be rebound), so it only runs when DAX_KMEM_TEST_UNBIND=1 is set.

Provisioning a devdax device and binding it to kmem needs daxctl/ndctl
out of scope for an in-tree selftest.  As the test mutates a device's
memory, the operator opts in by naming it in DAX_KMEM_TEST_DEV (or
"auto" to pick the first kmem-bound device); it SKIPs when unset, when
no device is present, or when the memory cannot be freed to a baseline.

When a device is available it validates the interface contract:
  - online / online_movable actually add memory (MemTotal grows),
  - online is idempotent,
  - switching between online types without unplug is rejected,
  - unplug removes memory and the reported state is "unplugged"
  - invalid input is rejected,
  - unplug and unbind tolerate blocks toggled out-of-band through the
    per-block memoryX/state interface.

One specific regression test:
    online -> unplug -> online_movable -> unplug

Re-online must re-reserve per-range resources so subsequent unplug
actually offlines and removes instead of silently reporting success
while the memory stays online.
