Subject: [PATCH 8/8] selftests/mm: check that unauthorized MADV_PAGEOUT skips large file folios
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 13:57:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014175756.2035176-9-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261014175756.2035176-1-gourry@gourry.net>
A caller that neither owns nor may write a file may page out the COW pages
of a private mapping of it, but not its file pages. When the advised range
only partly covers a large file folio, the folio must be filtered out
before it is split or reclaimed, on separate paths for PMD- and PTE-mapped
folios.
Check that partial MADV_PAGEOUT by such a caller leaves every page of a
PMD-sized shmem folio resident, both when a PMD maps it and when a mapping
of half of it maps it with PTEs.
