[PATCH 2/2] selftests/mm: verify droppable mappings cannot be locked
From: Anthony Yznaga
Date: Wed Apr 01 2026 - 20:36:10 EST
For configs that support MAP_DROPPABLE verify that a mapping created
with MAP_DROPPABLE cannot be locked via mlock(), and that it will not
be locked if it's created after mlockall(MCL_FUTURE).
