Subject: [PATCH v3 13/13] selftests/cgroup: extend test_hugetlb_memcg.c to support all huge page sizes
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:46:07 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41fc5be38d4205b5a4aee8499631cf60a9026163.1774591179.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1774591179.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com>
The hugetlb memcg selftest was previously skipped when the configured
huge page size was not 2MB, preventing the test from running on systems
using other default huge page sizes.
Detect the system's configured huge page size at runtime and use it for
the allocation instead of assuming a fixed 2MB size. This allows the
test to run on configurations using non-2MB huge pages and avoids
unnecessary skips.
Fixes: c0dddb7aa5f8 ("selftests: add a selftest to verify hugetlb usage in memcg")
Tested-by: Venkat Rao Bagalkote <venkat88@linux.ibm.com>
