Subject: [PATCH v9 4/4] lib/test_vmalloc: add vrealloc test case
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2026 22:46:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401-vmalloc-shrink-v9-4-bf58dfb997d8@zohomail.in> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401-vmalloc-shrink-v9-0-bf58dfb997d8@zohomail.in>

From: Shivam Kalra <shivamkalra98@zohomail.in>

Introduce a new test case "vrealloc_test" that exercises the vrealloc()
shrink and in-place grow paths:

  - Grow beyond allocated pages (triggers full reallocation).
  - Shrink crossing a page boundary (frees tail pages).
  - Shrink within the same page (no page freeing).
  - Grow within the already allocated page count (in-place).

Data integrity is validated after each realloc step by checking that
the first byte of the original allocation is preserved.

The test is gated behind run_test_mask bit 12 (id 4096).
