Subject: [PATCH v3 RESEND 2/2] selftests/mm: Only prepare ptrace_scope when memfd_secret is selected
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 20:56:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910125645.285866-3-diannaaav@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910125645.285866-1-diannaaav@gmail.com>
From: Tianyi Chen <hi@tychen.cc>
The memfd_secret setup clears ptrace_scope whenever its test binary is
executable, even when a different category was selected. run_test() filters
the test invocation, but it does not protect the preceding setup.
Check the category selection before entering the memfd_secret block so
running unrelated categories does not change ptrace_scope. Keep the
existing executable check and the behavior when memfd_secret is selected.
