Subject: tools/testing/selftests/mm: add MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero merge tests
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:21:45 +0100
Assert that MAP_PRIVATE-mapped /dev/zero mappings behave like they are
anonymous.
We test both unfaulted and faulted/unfaulted merges - each with the
regions having page offset of 0, which would not merge if the mappings
were treated as if they were file-backed.
With the recent change that makes them behave as pure anonymous mappings,
the merges should succeed as their page offsets are equal to their
anonymous page offsets.
