Subject: [PATCH 5/5] selftests: prctl: introduce tests for disabling THPs except for madvise
Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2025 17:22:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250725162258.1043176-6-usamaarif642@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250725162258.1043176-1-usamaarif642@gmail.com>
The test will set the global system THP setting to always and
the 2M setting to inherit before it starts (and reset to original
at teardown)
This tests if the process can:
- successfully set and get the policy to disable THPs expect for madvise.
- get hugepages only on MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE after policy is set.
- successfully reset the policy of the process.
- get hugepages always after reset.
- repeat the above tests in a forked process to make sure the policy is
carried across forks.
