[PATCH v11 3/3] ksm: add mremap selftests for ksm_rmap_walk
From: xu.xin16
Date: Fri Jul 03 2026 - 04:43:51 EST
From: xu xin <xu.xin16@xxxxxxxxxx>
The existing tools/testing/selftests/mm/rmap.c has already one testcase
for ksm_rmap_walk in TEST_F(migrate, ksm), which takes use of migration
of page from one NUMA node to another NUMA node. However, it just lacks
the scenario of mremapped VMAs.
We add the calling of mremap() and then trigger KSM to merge pages before
migrating, which is specifically to test an optimization which is
introduced by this patch ("ksm: Optimize rmap_walk_ksm by passing a
suitable address pgoff").
This test can reproduce the issue that Hugh points out at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/02e1b8df-d568-8cbb-b8f6-46d5476d9d75@xxxxxxxxxx/
