[PATCH] selftests/mm: fix size truncation in pagemap_ioctl test

From: Zenghui Yu

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 10:03:56 EST


From: "Zenghui Yu (Huawei)" <zenghui.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

On arm64 with 64K base pages, the huge page size is 512 MiB, and
hpage_unit_tests() builds a 5 GiB range (10 * 512 MiB) for its tests. This
exceeds the range of the int size parameters of gethugepage(),
wp_addr_range() and pagemap_ioctl(). The implicit truncation to 1 GiB
makes gethugepage() allocate a too small buffer, while the callers keep
operating on the original 5 GiB range, resulting in spurious failures or
SIGSEGV.

Change those size parameters to size_t.

Fixes: 46fd75d4a3c9 ("selftests: mm: add pagemap ioctl tests")
