[PATCH v4 1/2] selftests/mm: rename local_config.h to local_config.h_gen
From: pratmal
Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 18:22:47 EST
From: Pratyush Mallick <pratmal@xxxxxxxxxx>
Because local_config.h is a generated build artifact, un-ignoring all
.h files in .gitignore causes it to incorrectly show up as an untracked
file in git status.
Rename it to local_config.h_gen so it no longer matches the !*.h
inclusion rule, preparing for a subsequent patch that switches
.gitignore to a pattern-matching approach.
Update Makefile, check_config.sh, and affected test sources (cow.c,
gup_longterm.c) accordingly.
