Subject: [merged mm-stable] selftests-mm-add-folio-order-check-for-address-ranges.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 21:33:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013043344.E70471F0089A@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: add folio-order check for address ranges
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-add-folio-order-check-for-address-ranges.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

Subject: selftests/mm: add folio-order check for address ranges
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 01:24:38 +0100
An mTHP collapse test needs to know that a range is backed by folios of
the target order, and that they sit where a collapse would put them.
Nothing answers both: is_backed_by_folio() classifies the folio behind a
single page, and check_huge_anon() counts the folios of an order in a
range without saying where they start.
Add is_range_backed_by_order(). It requires every folio-sized, folio-
aligned part of the range to map one folio of that order, head to tail,
with the head at the start of the part.
A part backed by two smaller folios fails, and so does a folio mapped off
its natural alignment. The mTHP cases need both to tell a collapsed range
from the one beside it.
