[PATCH v3 2/2] selftests/mm: load xfs before checking for it in run_vmtests.sh
From: Qiliang Yuan
Date: Thu Oct 29 2026 - 02:25:02 EST
run_vmtests.sh creates a loop-mounted XFS for "khugepaged all:file" and
for the pagecache folio split cases of split_huge_page_test, since
tmpfs does not give them large pagecache folios.
It only does so when xfs already shows up in /proc/filesystems. When
xfs is built as a module that is not loaded yet, the check fails, no
XFS is created, "khugepaged all:file" is reported as skipped and every
pagecache folio split case of split_huge_page_test is skipped with "No
large pagecache folio generated".
Load xfs with load_module() when it is not registered yet, so that it
is unloaded again once the script is done. Match xfs as a whole word,
as "selinuxfs" contains it too, as does "vxfs" on kernels before 7.3,
and would otherwise skip the load and leave xfs to be loaded by
mount(). "run_vmtests.sh -t thp" with xfs built as a module and not
loaded:
before after
khugepaged all:file skipped run
skipped split_huge_page_test cases 43 0
xfs loaded after the run no no
xfs loaded after the run, with
selinuxfs or vxfs registered yes no
