Subject: [PATCH v6 6/6] selftests/mm: add a GUP selftest
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 19:38:25 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730140825.238130-7-sarthak.sharma@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730140825.238130-1-sarthak.sharma@arm.com>

Add a new GUP selftest which uses kselftest_harness.h. Cover
12 mapping configurations: THP enabled, THP disabled and
HugeTLB, each across private/shared mappings and with/without
FOLL_WRITE. Run 7 testcases for every variant: get_user_pages,
get_user_pages_fast, pin_user_pages, pin_user_pages_fast,
pin_user_pages_longterm, and DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST using both
get and pin.

Sweep four nr_pages_per_call values for each test: 1, 512, 123 and
all pages. This preserves the coverage previously provided by
run_gup_matrix(): 12 mapping combinations x 5 GUP/PUP operations x 4
batch sizes, for 240 ioctl calls. The two dump modes add another 96
calls.

Preserve the previous sparse dump coverage with a standalone test for
pages 0, 19 and 0x1000. In total the selftest reports 85 TAP
cases and issues 337 ioctls.

Add the new gup binary to the selftests/mm build, .gitignore,
run_vmtests.sh and MAINTAINERS. Update
Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst for the new test.
