Subject: [PATCH v2] selftests: mincore: fix tmpfs mincore test failure
Date: Mon,  7 Apr 2025 19:31:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9a00856cc6a8b4e46f4ab8b1af11ce5fc1a31851.1744025467.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

When running mincore test cases, I encountered the following failures:

"
mincore_selftest.c:359:check_tmpfs_mmap:Expected ra_pages (511) == 0 (0)
mincore_selftest.c:360:check_tmpfs_mmap:Read-ahead pages found in memory
check_tmpfs_mmap: Test terminated by assertion
          FAIL  global.check_tmpfs_mmap
not ok 5 global.check_tmpfs_mmap
FAILED: 4 / 5 tests passed
"

The reason for the test case failure is that my system automatically enabled
tmpfs large folio allocation by adding the 'transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=always'
cmdline. However, the test case still expects the tmpfs mounted on /dev/shm to
allocate small folios, which leads to assertion failures when verifying readahead
pages.

As discussed with David, there's no reason to continue checking the readahead
logic for tmpfs. Drop it to fix this issue.

Changes from v1:
 - Drop the readahead logic check, per David.
