[PATCH v2 21/24] selftests: memfd: return Kselftest Skip code for skipped tests

From: Shuah Khan (Samsung OSG)
Date: Mon May 07 2018 - 19:01:57 EST


When memfd test is skipped because of unmet dependencies and/or unsupported
configuration, it returns non-zero value which is treated as a fail by the
Kselftest framework. This leads to false negative result even when the test
could not be run.

Change it to return kselftest skip code when a test gets skipped to clearly
report that the test could not be run.

Added an explicit check for root user at the start of memfd hugetlbfs test
and return skip code if a non-root user attempts to run it.

In addition, return skip code when not enough huge pages are available to
run the test.

Kselftest framework SKIP code is 4 and the framework prints appropriate
messages to indicate that the test is skipped.

Changes since v1:
-- addressed review comments on v1
-- Fixed a regression in v1 that changed the behavior to require root
for all tests not just the hugetlbfs test.
