Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 17:34:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402003417.438037-1-anthony.yznaga@oracle.com> (raw)

Mark Brown reported seeing a regression in -next on 32 bit arm with the
mlock selftests. Before exiting and marking the tests failed, the following
message was logged after an attempt to create a MAP_DROPPABLE mapping:

Bail out! mmap error: Unknown error 524

It turns out error 524 is ENOTSUPP which is an error that userspace is not
supposed to see, but it indicates in this instance that MAP_DROPPABLE is
not supported.

The first patch changes the errno returned to EOPNOTSUPP. The second patch
is a second version of a prior patch to introduce selftests to verify
locking behavior with droppable mappings with the additonal change to skip
the tests when MAP_DROPPABLE is not supported.
