Subject: [PATCH v4 09/15] selftest/mm: register existing mapping with userfaultfd in hugepage-mremap
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 14:49:28 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37b8bdb379a845beaba645c104fb0cc31aca57ac.1775466330.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775466329.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com>
Previously, register_region_with_uffd() created a new anonymous
mapping and overwrote the address supplied by the caller before
registering the range with userfaultfd.
As a result, userfaultfd was applied to an unrelated anonymous mapping
instead of the hugetlb region used by the test.
Remove the extra mmap() and register the caller-provided address range
directly using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING, so that faults are
generated for the hugetlb mapping used by the test.
This ensures userfaultfd operates on the actual hugetlb test region and
validates the expected fault handling.
Before patch:
running ./hugepage-mremap
-------------------------
TAP version 13
1..1
Map haddr: Returned address is 0x7eaa40000000
Map daddr: Returned address is 0x7daa40000000
Map vaddr: Returned address is 0x7faa40000000
Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fff9d000000
Mremap: Returned address is 0x7faa40000000
First hex is 0
First hex is 3020100
ok 1 Read same data
Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
[PASS]
ok 1 hugepage-mremap
After patch:
running ./hugepage-mremap
-------------------------
TAP version 13
1..1
Map haddr: Returned address is 0x7eaa40000000
Map daddr: Returned address is 0x7daa40000000
Map vaddr: Returned address is 0x7faa40000000
Registered memory at address 0x7eaa40000000 with userfaultfd
Mremap: Returned address is 0x7faa40000000
First hex is 0
First hex is 3020100
ok 1 Read same data
Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
[PASS]
ok 1 hugepage-mremap
