selftests/mincore: Allow read-ahead pages to reach the end of the file

2025-05-02T06:02:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 197c1eaa7ba633a482ed7588eea6fd4aa57e08d4 ]

When running the mincore_selftest on a system with an XFS file system, it
failed the "check_file_mmap" test case due to the read-ahead pages reaching
the end of the file. The failure log is as below:

   RUN           global.check_file_mmap ...
  mincore_selftest.c:264:check_file_mmap:Expected i (1024) < vec_size (1024)
  mincore_selftest.c:265:check_file_mmap:Read-ahead pages reached the end of the file
  check_file_mmap: Test failed
           FAIL  global.check_file_mmap

This is because the read-ahead window size of the XFS file system on this
machine is 4 MB, which is larger than the size from the #PF address to the
end of the file. As a result, all the pages for this file are populated.

  blockdev --getra /dev/nvme0n1p5
    8192
  blockdev --getbsz /dev/nvme0n1p5
    512

This issue can be fixed by extending the current FILE_SIZE 4MB to a larger
number, but it will still fail if the read-ahead window size of the file
system is larger enough. Additionally, in the real world, read-ahead pages
reaching the end of the file can happen and is an expected behavior.
Therefore, allowing read-ahead pages to reach the end of the file is a
better choice for the "check_file_mmap" test case.

selftests: mincore: fix tmpfs mincore test failure

2025-04-25T08:50:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8c583e538aa681ecb293d5606054de70f44b5558 ]

When running mincore test cases, I encountered the following failures:

"
mincore_selftest.c:359:check_tmpfs_mmap:Expected ra_pages (511) == 0 (0)
mincore_selftest.c:360:check_tmpfs_mmap:Read-ahead pages found in memory
check_tmpfs_mmap: Test terminated by assertion
          FAIL  global.check_tmpfs_mmap
not ok 5 global.check_tmpfs_mmap
FAILED: 4 / 5 tests passed
"

The reason for the test case failure is that my system automatically enabled
tmpfs large folio allocation by adding the 'transparent_hugepage_tmpfs=always'
cmdline. However, the test case still expects the tmpfs mounted on /dev/shm to
allocate small folios, which leads to assertion failures when verifying readahead
pages.

As discussed with David, there's no reason to continue checking the readahead
logic for tmpfs. Drop it to fix this issue.

selftests/mincore: fix skip condition for check_huge_pages test

2023-07-13T18:51:13+00:00

The check_huge_pages test was failing instead of skipping on qemu-armv7
because the skip condition wasn't handled properly. Add an additional
check to fix it.

selftests: skip mincore.check_file_mmap when fs lacks needed support

2022-01-27T23:40:45+00:00

Report mincore.check_file_mmap as SKIP instead of FAIL if the underlying
filesystem lacks support of O_TMPFILE or fallocate since such failures
are not really related to mincore functionality.

selftests: add mincore() tests

2020-08-07T18:33:27+00:00

Add a test suite for the mincore() syscall.  It tests most of its use
cases as well as its interface.

Tests implemented:

  - basic interface test
  - behavior on anonymous mappings
  - behavior on anonymous mappings with huge tlb pages
  - file-backed mapping with a regular file
  - file-backed mapping with a tmpfs file
