selftests/mm: new test that steals pages
This test stresses the race between of madvise(DONTNEED), a page fault
and a parallel huge page mmap, which should fail due to lack of
available page available for mapping.
This test case must run on a system with one and only one huge page
available.
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
During setup, the test allocates the only available page, and starts
three threads:
- thread 1:
* madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) on the allocated huge page
- thread 2:
* Write to the allocated huge page
- thread 3:
* Tries to allocated (steal) an extra huge page (which is not
available)
thread 3 should never succeed in the allocation, since the only huge
page was never unmapped, and should be reserved.
Touching the old page after thread3 allocation will raise a SIGBUS.
