Subject: mm: fix mmap errno value when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 20:39:37 -0700

Patch series "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno", v4.

Mark Brown reported seeing a regression in -next on 32 bit arm with the
mlock selftests.  Before exiting and marking the tests failed, the
following message was logged after an attempt to create a MAP_DROPPABLE
mapping:

Bail out! mmap error: Unknown error 524

It turns out error 524 is ENOTSUPP which is an error that userspace is not
supposed to see, but it indicates in this instance that MAP_DROPPABLE is
not supported.

The first patch changes the errno returned to EOPNOTSUPP.  The second
patch is a second version of a prior patch to introduce selftests to
verify locking behavior with droppable mappings with the additional change
to skip the tests when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported.  The third patch
fixes the MAP_DROPPABLE selftest so that it is run by the framework and
skips if MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported.


This patch (of 3):

On configs where MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported (currently any 32-bit
config except for PPC32), mmap fails with errno set to ENOTSUPP.  However,
ENOTSUPP is not a standard error value that userspace knows about.  The
acceptable userspace-visible errno to use is EOPNOTSUPP.  checkpatch.pl
has a warning to this effect.
