Re: [PATCH 1/2] selftests/mm: skip uffd tests in madv_guard if uffd is not present.

[Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>]

Ah you got to this first :) thanks!

Could you do this with a cover letter though? It's really weird to have 2/2
reply to 1/2, I know sometimes people do that, but it's just odd, and it'd be
good to have an overview, thanks!

'madv_guard'? I'd just say the guard_regions.uffd test to fail.

Let's just make this all part of the same switch please!

And while I originally used ksft_exit_skip(), I think we can just use the
SKIP(return, ...) form here just fine to keep it consistent.

Thanks!
