Subject: [PATCH] tools/testing/selftests: fix guard region test tmpfs assumption
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 17:24:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250425162436.564002-1-lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com> (raw)

The current implementation of the guard region tests assume that /tmp is
mounted as tmpfs, that is shmem.

This isn't always the case, and at least one instance of a spurious test
failure has been reported as a result.

This assumption is unsafe, rushed and silly - and easily remedied by simply
using memfd, so do so.

We also have to fixup the readonly_file test to explicitly only be
applicable to file-backed cases.

Reported-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/a2d2766b-0ab4-437b-951a-8595a7506fe9@arm.com/
