The patch titled
     Subject: selftests/cgroup: test_zswap: fix implicit unsigned promotion bug in test_no_kmem_bypass
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     selftests-cgroup-test_zswap-fix-implicit-unsigned-promotion-bug-in-test_no_kmem_bypass.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/selftests-cgroup-test_zswap-fix-implicit-unsigned-promotion-bug-in-test_no_kmem_bypass.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: selftests/cgroup: test_zswap: fix implicit unsigned promotion bug in test_no_kmem_bypass
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 03:37:32 +0000

In test_no_kmem_bypass(), delta (stored_pages * page_size - zswapped) is
checked against stored_pages * page_size / 4 to verify that the pages
pushed to zswap belong to the test memory cgroup.

Due to slight stat update timing differences, delta can evaluate to a
small negative number (e.g.  -5MB out of 1GB).  Because delta is declared
as a signed int and stored_pages is an unsigned size_t, C's usual
arithmetic conversions implicitly promote a negative delta to a large
unsigned 64-bit integer, causing `delta < stored_pages * page_size / 4` to
falsely evaluate to 0 and fail the test.

Fix this by declaring zswapped and delta as signed long long and comparing
against a signed threshold, ensuring negative deltas correctly evaluate to
true.
