Subject: selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 11:17:40 +0300

Commit 49a4e7186b08 ("selftests/mm: thuge-gen: add setup of HugeTLB
pages") changed thuge-gen test to use common functions for reading hugetlb
attributes from sysfs, but it missed that the original read_free()
function special cased PAGE_SIZE tests.

For PAGE_SIZE tests, failure to read sysfs was ignored and read_free()
returned 0.

This allowed test_shmget() to essentially skip the check of how many huge
pages was consumed when it ran with PAGE_SIZE.

Commit 3199b0c09efa ("selftests/mm: fix read_file() return value check")
fixed checks for read_file() return value and this exposed the issue in
test_shmget() that checks the number of free hugetlb pages even for
PAGE_SIZE test, tries to access

/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-<PAGE_SIZE>/free_hugepages

and obviously fails there.

Gate the checks for free huge pages on size != getpagesize() and
initialize before and after variables to values matching PAGE_SIZE test.
