Subject: [RFC v2 18/21] selftests/mm: add partial_mprotect test for change_pmd_range
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 03:23:47 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226113233.3987674-19-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226113233.3987674-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
Add test for partial mprotect on THP which exercises change_pmd_range().
This verifies that partial mprotect correctly splits the PMD, applies
protection only to the requested portion, and leaves the rest of the
mapping writable.
