2015-04-15	mm, selftests: test return value of munmap for MAP_HUGETLB memory	David Rientjes	1	-1/+5
	When MAP_HUGETLB memory is unmapped, the length must be hugepage aligned, otherwise it fails with -EINVAL. All tests currently behave correctly, but it's better to explcitly test the return value for completeness and document the requirement, especially if users copy map_hugetlb.c as a sample implementation.

2012-03-28	mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vm	Dave Young	1	-0/+79
	hugepage-mmap.c, hugepage-shm.c and map_hugetlb.c in Documentation/vm are simple pass/fail tests, It's better to promote them to tools/testing/selftests. Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this. They all need firstly setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs. So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the three test programs and check the return value of them. Changes to original code including below: a. add run_vmtests script b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes. c. coding style fixes: do not use assignment in if condition [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build the targets before trying to execute them] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Documentation/vm/ no longer has a Makefile.
