Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 14:15:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250113-virtual_address_range-tests-v3-1-f4a8e6b7feed@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250113-virtual_address_range-tests-v3-0-f4a8e6b7feed@linutronix.de>
When mapping a larger chunk than physical memory is available with
PROT_WRITE and overcommit is disabled, the mapping will fail.
This will prevent the test from running on systems with less then ~1GiB
of memory and triggering an inscrutinable test failure.
As the mappings are never written to anyways, the flag can be removed.
Fixes: 010409649885 ("selftests/mm: confirm VA exhaustion without reliance on correctness of mmap()")
