Subject: [PATCH v9 6/6] selftests/mm: add a GUP selftest
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 18:06:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904123631.198697-7-sarthak.sharma@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904123631.198697-1-sarthak.sharma@arm.com>
Add a new GUP selftest which uses kselftest_harness.h. Cover
12 mapping configurations: THP enabled, THP disabled and
HugeTLB, each across private/shared mappings and with/without
FOLL_WRITE. Run 5 test cases for every variant: get_user_pages,
get_user_pages_fast, pin_user_pages, pin_user_pages_fast and
pin_user_pages_longterm.
Choose the number of default hugeTLB pages using a 256 MiB target,
with a minimum of 1 page and derive the mapping size from that
number. This avoids reserving excess memory when the hugeTLB page
size is too large and retains 128 pages for the most common case
of 2MiB hugeTLB pages.
Sweep four nr_pages_per_call values for each test: 1, 512, 123 and
all pages. This preserves the coverage previously provided by
run_gup_matrix(): 12 mapping combinations x 5 GUP/PUP operations x 4
batch sizes. In total the selftest reports 60 TAP cases and issues
240 ioctls.
Do not carry DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST into the new selftest because its
output is written to the kernel log and the selftest does not verify
that output.
Add the new gup binary to the selftests/mm build, run_vmtests.sh and
MAINTAINERS. Update mm/Kconfig to describe the benchmark and
selftest split.
