[PATCH 2/2] selftests/mm: Add a new test for madv and hugetlb

From: Breno Leitao
Date: Wed Oct 04 2023 - 13:12:17 EST


Create a selftest that exercises the conflict between page faults and
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) in the same huge page. Do it by running two
threads that touches the huge page and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) at the same
time.

In case of a SIGBUS coming at pagefault, the test should fail, since we
hit the bug.

The test doesn't have a signal handler, and if it fails, it fails like
the following

----------------------------------
running ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv
----------------------------------
./run_vmtests.sh: line 186: 595563 Bus error (core dumped) "$@"
[FAIL]

This selftest goes together with the fix of the bug[1] itself.
