Subject: [PATCH] selftests/prctl: Fix non-anonymous VMA mapping in set-anon-vma-name test
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 18:30:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803103046.14324-1-hongfu.li@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Hongfu Li <lihongfu@kylinos.cn>
The test creates a non-anonymous VMA (ptr_not_anon) via mmap() with
MAP_PRIVATE but without MAP_ANONYMOUS, using fd=0 (stdin) as the file
descriptor. This always fails because fd=0 is not a regular file,
and the failure was hidden because ASSERT_NE() incorrectly checked
for NULL instead of MAP_FAILED.
Fix by using mkstemp() + ftruncate() to create a real temporary file,
then mapping it with MAP_PRIVATE to obtain a genuine file-backed VMA.
Also fix the mmap() error checks to use MAP_FAILED instead of NULL,
and pass fd=-1 for the anonymous mapping for clarity. The temp file
is unlinked immediately so it does not persist on disk.
