Subject: [PATCH 08/13] selftests/mm: ensure destination is hugetlb-backed in hugepage-mremap
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:19:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2c8858154273159f964236810c7304dec665b28b.1773134177.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1773134177.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com>
The hugepage-mremap selftest reserves the destination address using a
anonymous base-page mapping before calling mremap() with MREMAP_FIXED,
while the source region is hugetlb-backed.
When remapping a hugetlb mapping into a base-page VMA may fail with:
mremap: Device or resource busy
This is observed on powerpc hash MMU systems where slice constraints
and page size incompatibilities prevent the remap.
Ensure the destination region is created using MAP_HUGETLB so that both
source and destination VMAs are hugetlb-backed and compatible. Also add
MAP_POPULATE to the destination mapping to prefault hugepages,
matching the behaviour used for other hugetlb mappiing in the test and
ensuring deterministic behaviour.
This ensures the test reliably exercises hugetlb mremap instead of
failing due to VMA type mismatch.
Fixes: 12b613206474 ("mm, hugepages: add hugetlb vma mremap() test")
