Subject: [PATCH 28/53] selftests/mm: vm_util: add helpers to set and restore shm limits
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 17:17:10 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260406141735.2179309-29-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260406141735.2179309-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
hugetlb-shm and thuge-gen tests require that limits defined by
/proc/sys/kernel/{shmmax,shmall} should be higher than certain values.
Add helpers that allow setting these limits and restoring their settings on
a test exit.
They will be used later in hugetlb-shm and thuge-gen.
Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) <rppt@kernel.org>
