Subject: [LTP] [PATCH v1] mmapstress06: TCONF on systems without swap space
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 11:59:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427115941.31945-1-wegao@suse.com> (raw)

mmapstress06 is designed to stress the mfile_swap kernel primitive, which
manages shared anonymous memory. On architectures with large pages (like
64KB on ppc64le), the test's hardcoded request for 32769 pages results
in a ~2GB mapping. So in suse test system configured with 2GB of RAM and
no swap space, the test will fails with following information:

mmapstress06: errno = 12; large mmap failed
for this test to run, it needs a mmap space of
32769 pages

The failure occurs because the 2GB request cannot be fulfilled within
the 2GB RAM limit without swap backing. Since the test specifically
intends to exercise swap-related logic (mfile_swap), it should be skipped
with TCONF when the system lacks swap space.
