selftests/mm/charge_reserved_hugetlb: drop mount size for hugetlbfs

2026-03-04T12:21:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1aa1dd9cc595917882fb6db67725442956f79607 ] charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh mounts a hugetlbfs instance at /mnt/huge with a fixed size of 256M. On systems with large base hugepages (e.g. 512MB), this is smaller than a single hugepage, so the hugetlbfs mount ends up with zero capacity (often visible as size=0 in mount output). As a result, write_to_hugetlbfs fails with ENOMEM and the test can hang waiting for progress. === Error log === # uname -r 6.12.0-xxx.el10.aarch64+64k #./charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh -cgroup-v2 # ----------------------------------------- ... # nr hugepages = 10 # writing cgroup limit: 5368709120 # writing reseravation limit: 5368709120 ... # write_to_hugetlbfs: Error mapping the file: Cannot allocate memory # Waiting for hugetlb memory reservation to reach size 2684354560. # 0 # Waiting for hugetlb memory reservation to reach size 2684354560. # 0 ... # mount |grep /mnt/huge none on /mnt/huge type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,pagesize=512M,size=0) # grep -i huge /proc/meminfo ...

selftests/mm: skip soft-dirty tests when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled

2025-10-19T14:31:01+00:00

commit 0389c305ef56cbadca4cbef44affc0ec3213ed30 upstream. The madv_populate and soft-dirty kselftests currently fail on systems where CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled. Introduce a new helper softdirty_supported() into vm_util.c/h to ensure tests are properly skipped when the feature is not enabled.

minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere

2025-10-02T11:42:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1a251f52cfdc417c84411a056bc142cbd77baef4 ] This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very traditional semantics. The goal is to use these for C constant expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to simplify the min()/max() macros. These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a few different approaches: - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new generic MIN/MAX macros automatically. - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the generic version automatically" case. - strange use case #1 A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their versioning is with #define MAJ 1 #define MIN 2 #define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN) which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as #define DRV_VERSION "1.2" instead. - strange use case #2 A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random 'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than the traditional macro that takes arguments. These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new function-line macros only expand when followed by an open parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use. Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version that does the same thing. I left such cases alone. Cc: David Laight Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Eliav Farber Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

selftests/mm: compaction_test: support platform with huge mount of memory

2025-05-22T12:12:25+00:00

commit ab00ddd802f80e31fc9639c652d736fe3913feae upstream. When running mm selftest to verify mm patches, 'compaction_test' case failed on an x86 server with 1TB memory. And the root cause is that it has too much free memory than what the test supports. The test case tries to allocate 100000 huge pages, which is about 200 GB for that x86 server, and when it succeeds, it expects it's large than 1/3 of 80% of the free memory in system. This logic only works for platform with 750 GB ( 200 / (1/3) / 80% ) or less free memory, and may raise false alarm for others. Fix it by changing the fixed page number to self-adjustable number according to the real number of free memory.

selftests/mm: generate a temporary mountpoint for cgroup filesystem

2025-04-25T08:45:49+00:00

commit 9c02223e2d9df5cb37c51aedb78f3960294e09b5 upstream. Currently if the filesystem for the cgroups version it wants to use is not mounted charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh and hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh tests will attempt to mount it on the hard coded path /dev/cgroup/memory, deleting that directory when the test finishes. This will fail if there is not a preexisting directory at that path, and since the directory is deleted subsequent runs of the test will fail. Instead of relying on this hard coded directory name use mktemp to generate a temporary directory to use as a mountpoint, fixing both the assumption and the disruption caused by deleting a preexisting directory. This means that if the relevant cgroup filesystem is not already mounted then we rely on having coreutils (which provides mktemp) installed. I suspect that many current users are relying on having things automounted by default, and given that the script relies on bash it's probably not an unreasonable requirement.

Revert "selftests/mm: fix deadlock for fork after pthread_create on ARM"

2024-11-08T15:28:23+00:00

commit 5bb1f4c9340e01003b00b94d539eadb0da88f48e upstream. Patch series "selftests/mm: revert pthread_barrier change" On Android arm, pthread_create followed by a fork caused a deadlock in the case where the fork required work to be completed by the created thread. The previous patches incorrectly assumed that the parent would always initialize the pthread_barrier for the child thread. This reverts the change and replaces the fix for wp-fork-with-event with the original use of atomic_bool. This patch (of 3): This reverts commit e142cc87ac4ec618f2ccf5f68aedcd6e28a59d9d. fork_event_consumer may be called by other tests that do not initialize the pthread_barrier, so this approach is not correct. The subsequent patch will revert to using atomic_bool instead.

selftests/mm: replace atomic_bool with pthread_barrier_t

2024-10-22T13:46:21+00:00

commit e61ef21e27e8deed8c474e9f47f4aa7bc37e138c upstream. Patch series "selftests/mm: fix deadlock after pthread_create". On Android arm, pthread_create followed by a fork caused a deadlock in the case where the fork required work to be completed by the created thread. Update the synchronization primitive to use pthread_barrier instead of atomic_bool. Apply the same fix to the wp-fork-with-event test. This patch (of 2): Swap synchronization primitive with pthread_barrier, so that stdatomic.h does not need to be included. The synchronization is needed on Android ARM64; we see a deadlock with pthread_create when the parent thread races forward before the child has a chance to start doing work.
