+ selftests-mm-add-merge-test-for-partial-msealed-range.patch added to mm-new branch

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: add merge test for partial msealed range
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     selftests-mm-add-merge-test-for-partial-msealed-range.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/selftests-mm-add-merge-test-for-partial-msealed-range.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: selftests/mm: add merge test for partial msealed range
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:50:11 +0100

Commit 2697dd8ae721 ("mm/mseal: update VMA end correctly on merge") fixed
an issue in the loop which iterates through VMAs applying mseal, which was
triggered by mseal()'ing a range of VMAs where the second was mseal()'d
and the first mergeable with it, once mseal()'d.

Add a regression test to assert that this behaviour is correct.  We place
it in the merge selftests as this is strictly an issue with merging (via a
vma_modify() invocation).

It also assert that mseal()'d ranges are correctly merged as you'd expect.

The test is implemented such that it is skipped if mseal() is not
available on the system.
