Subject: [PATCH v8 6/6] selftests/mm: add a GUP selftest
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:51:01 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831042101.18085-7-sarthak.sharma@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831042101.18085-1-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 5 test cases for every variant: get_user_pages,
get_user_pages_fast, pin_user_pages, pin_user_pages_fast and
pin_user_pages_longterm.

Set up 128 default-sized HugeTLB pages once for the HugeTLB variants
and derive their mapping size from the default huge-page size.

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. In total the selftest reports 60 TAP cases and issues
240 ioctls.

Do not carry DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST into the new selftest because
the test only verifies whether an ioctl succeeded, not the output
written to the kernel log.

Add the new gup binary to the selftests/mm build, run_vmtests.sh and
MAINTAINERS. Update mm/Kconfig to describe the benchmark and
selftest split.
