[PATCH v2 0/2] New selftest for mm

[Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>]

This is a simple test case that reproduces an mm problem[1], where a page
fault races with madvise(), and it is not trivial to reproduce and
debug.

This test-case aims to avoid such race problems from happening again,
impacting workloads that leverages external allocators, such as
tcmalloc, jemalloc, etc.

Changelog:
---------

V2:
 * Remove some unnecessary checks
 * Skip the test instead of failing in some cases
