Subject: [PATCH v4 1/5] selftests/mm/guard-regions: skip collapse test when thp not enabled
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:06:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319160656.1480279-2-chuhu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319160656.1480279-1-chuhu@redhat.com>
When thp is not available, just skip the collape tests to avoid the false
negative.
Without the change, run with a thp disabled kernel:
./run_vmtests.sh -t madv_guard -n 1
<snip/>
# RUN guard_regions.anon.collapse ...
# guard-regions.c:2217:collapse:Expected madvise(ptr, size, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) (-1) == 0 (0)
# collapse: Test terminated by assertion
# FAIL guard_regions.anon.collapse
not ok 2 guard_regions.anon.collapse
<snip/>
# RUN guard_regions.shmem.collapse ...
# guard-regions.c:2217:collapse:Expected madvise(ptr, size, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) (-1) == 0 (0)
# collapse: Test terminated by assertion
# FAIL guard_regions.shmem.collapse
not ok 32 guard_regions.shmem.collapse
<snip/>
# RUN guard_regions.file.collapse ...
# guard-regions.c:2217:collapse:Expected madvise(ptr, size, MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) (-1) == 0 (0)
# collapse: Test terminated by assertion
# FAIL guard_regions.file.collapse
not ok 62 guard_regions.file.collapse
<snip/>
# FAILED: 87 / 90 tests passed.
# 17 skipped test(s) detected. Consider enabling relevant config options to improve coverage.
# Totals: pass:70 fail:3 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:17 error:0
With this change, run with thp disabled kernel:
./run_vmtests.sh -t madv_guard -n 1
<snip/>
# RUN guard_regions.anon.collapse ...
# SKIP Transparent Hugepages not available
# OK guard_regions.anon.collapse
ok 2 guard_regions.anon.collapse # SKIP Transparent Hugepages not available

# RUN guard_regions.file.collapse ...

<snip/>
# RUN guard_regions.shmem.collapse ...
# SKIP Transparent Hugepages not available
# OK guard_regions.shmem.collapse
ok 32 guard_regions.shmem.collapse # SKIP Transparent Hugepages not available
<snip/>
# PASSED: 90 / 90 tests passed.

Changes in v4:
- use thp_available instead of thp_is_enabled() as when thp is set to
never, madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) will still succeed by design. So a
failure in madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) on guard region will verify guard
region denies it. This is suggested from AI.
- removed the 'Reviewed-by' and 'Acked-by' as the code changes. Sorry for
that but it seems the changes is a little huge? (1 out of 2 lines)..
Changes in v3:
- commit message: update the log snippet with where the fail happens and
add the '-n1' to the command.
- fix the 'false positive' to 'false negative'
- add reviwed by from Mike
Changes in v2:
- add reviewed by from Zi and Lorenzo
- add acked-by from David
