[PATCH] selftests/mm: mlock2-tests: fix fclose(NULL) in is_vmflag_set()

From: Hongfu Li

Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 03:51:10 EST


From: Hongfu Li <lihongfu@xxxxxxxxxx>

is_vmflag_set() jumps to the shared 'out' label when
seek_to_smaps_entry() fails. smaps is NULL on that path, and the
code at the 'out' label calls fclose(smaps) unconditionally.
fclose(NULL) is undefined behaviour, so the test crashes before
it can report a test result.
