Subject: [merged mm-stable] tools-testing-vma-add-test-to-assert-map_private-dev-zero-is-anon.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 22:58:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009055829.4609A1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: tools/testing/vma: add test to assert MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero is anon
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
tools-testing-vma-add-test-to-assert-map_private-dev-zero-is-anon.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------
From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" <ljs@kernel.org>
Subject: tools/testing/vma: add test to assert MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero is anon
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 11:41:10 +0100
Now we've made MAP_PRIVATE-mapped /dev/zero mappings truly anonymous, add a
VMA userland test to assert that this is the case and everything is as we
would expect for an anonymous mapping.
