Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] selftests: prctl: introduce tests for disabling THPs except for madvise
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 13:27:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250731122825.2102184-6-usamaarif642@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250731122825.2102184-1-usamaarif642@gmail.com>
The test will set the global system THP setting to never, madvise
or always depending on the fixture variant and the 2M setting to
inherit before it starts (and reset to original at teardown)
This tests if the process can:
- successfully set and get the policy to disable THPs expect for madvise.
- get hugepages only on MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE if the global policy
is madvise/always and only with MADV_COLLAPSE if the global policy is
never.
- successfully reset the policy of the process.
- after reset, only get hugepages with:
- MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to never.
- MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to madvise.
- always when policy is set to "always".
- repeat the above tests in a forked process to make sure the policy is
carried across forks.
