Subject: [PATCH v7 1/7] selftests/mm/guard-regions: skip collapse test when thp not enabled
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 23:14:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330151503.670415-2-chuhu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330151503.670415-1-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
  <snip/>
  #  RUN           guard_regions.file.collapse ...
  #      SKIP      Transparent Hugepages not available
  #            OK  guard_regions.file.collapse
  ok 62 guard_regions.file.collapse # SKIP Transparent Hugepages not available
  <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.
  # 20 skipped test(s) detected. Consider enabling relevant config options to improve coverage.
  # Totals: pass:70 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:20 error:0

Changes in v7:
  - Add reviewed-by from Lorenzo
Changes in v5:
  - updated reviewed-by and acked-by
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
