Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory usage and avoid VVAR access
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2025 14:05:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250110-virtual_address_range-tests-v2-0-262a2bf3c3d0@linutronix.de> (raw)

The selftest started failing since commit e93d2521b27f
("x86/vdso: Split virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping")
was merged. While debugging I stumbled upon some memory usage
optimizations.

With these test now runs on a VM with only 60MiB of memory.

Changes in v2:
- Drop /dev/null usage
- Avoid overcommit restrictions by dropping PROT_WRITE
- Avoid high memory usage due to PTEs
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250107-virtual_address_range-tests-v1-0-3834a2fb47fe@linutronix.de
