Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 4/7] selftests/bpf: Test large allocations for both sleepable/nonsleepable arena users
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 23:35:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925233538.5708-5-emil@etsalapatis.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260925233538.5708-1-emil@etsalapatis.com>
We have relaxed the limitation of 1024-page batches for both sleepable
and nonsleepable arena allocations by removing the intermediate page
array. Add a test to confirm that large allocations succeed for both.
