Subject: [PATCH v4 03/15] selftests/mm: restore default nr_hugepages value via EXIT trap in hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 14:49:22 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e148e4232d4b802795751a7766fcce8884c6e3c7.1775466329.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775466329.git.sayalip@linux.ibm.com>
The test modifies nr_hugepages during execution and restores it from
cleanup() and again reconfigure it setup, which is invoked multiple
times across test flow. This can lead to repeated
allocation/freeing of hugepages.
With set -e, failures in cleanup (e.g., rmdir/umount) can also
cause early exit before restoring the original value at the end.
Move restoration to a single EXIT trap so the original value is
restored reliably on all exit paths while avoiding repeated churn.
Fixes: 585a9145886a ("selftests/mm: restore default nr_hugepages value during cleanup in hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh")
