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.
