From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" <ljs@kernel.org>
Subject: tools/testing/vma: add tests for copy_vma() self-merge
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:21:33 +0100

Assert that a VMA can be moved backwards, forwards and between a preceding
VMA and its old self.

In the cases in which the VMA merges only with itself expect that to be
achieved by expanding its old self, so assert that these function
correctly.

However in the case of a merge between a preceding VMA and itself the
original VMA is removed, so assert that the preceding VMA replaces the one
passed in as vmap and the merge is as expected.
