[PATCH 2/2] selftests/mm: test a uffd write-protect range with an unregistered page

From: Umang Pokhriyal

Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 05:42:36 EST


Register only the first of two pages and check that UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
over both pages fails with ENOENT without changing the first page, when
protecting and when unprotecting.
