[PATCH v3 0/4] KVM: guest_memfd: fix NUMA selftests
From: Shivank Garg
Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 03:37:11 EST
NUMA selftests in guest_memfd_test assumes that node 0 and 1 exist and
have memory. However, nodes can be sparse or memoryless which would
break this selftest. Select the nodes from MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED instead.
Based on KVM: selftests: Fix maxnodes bugs and cleanup related code [1]
Tested on a 7.3-rc1+, AMD EPYC 7713.

Changes in v3:
- Rebase on Sean's spin-off series [1] which picks up patch 1 and 2.
- Drop Patch 3 as version in [1] is better. (Sean)
- Split patch 4 of V2 into 4 patches. (Sean)
- Use MAXNODE_FOR_MASK() for maxnode value. (Sean)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260901-gmem-selftests-fix-v2-0-5a273153354c@xxxxxxx
Changes in V2:
- Split from unbind race fix. (Sean)
- Include <linux/bits.h> that defines BITS_PER_TYPE for self-containment. (Sashiko)
- Link to V1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260823-shivank-gmem-fix-split-v1-0-512a29fb8e86@xxxxxxx
