Subject: [PATCH v9 2/4] kselftest: mm: replace usage of /proc/self/smaps for __check_pmd_huge()
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:17:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001-fix_split-v9-2-0f4ba8bbdbdf@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001-fix_split-v9-0-0f4ba8bbdbdf@arm.com>

Since glibc commit 321e1fc73f (“malloc: Enable 2MB THP by default on AArch64”),
glibc may call madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) for sufficiently large allocations
made by memalign().

The underlying VMA may start at a different address from the aligned
address returned by memalign(). Furthermore, a subsequent
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call does not split the VMA because the flag is
already set.

This causes split_huge_page_test to fail because the check_pmd_huge()
helpers incorrectly require the address returned by memalign() to
match the VMA start address reported in /proc/self/smaps.

Instead of relying on /proc/self/smaps, use /proc/self/pagemap and
/proc/kpageflags to detect huge-page mappings checking PAGE_IS_HUGE
and PAGE_IS_FILE according to type of huge page.

Since shmem pages are also file-backed, simply check whether the page
is file-backed.
