Subject: [v3 24/24] selftests/mm: add madv_dontneed_partial test
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 19:09:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327021403.214713-25-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327021403.214713-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>

Add test for partial MADV_DONTNEED on THP. This verifies that
MADV_DONTNEED correctly triggers a PMD split, discards only the
requested page (which becomes zero-filled), and preserves data
in the surrounding pages.
