2016-06-27	selftests/vm: Don't mlockall MCL_CURRENT in on-fault-limit test	Yannick Brosseau	1	-1/+1
	The default MEMLOCK limit is not big enough to accomodate all the current pages of the test program process, so the test fails at this step. By removing the MCL_CURRENT flag, we allow the mlockall call to succeed. The mmap is twice the size of the current limit, so it will still fail as expected.

2015-11-05	selftests: vm: add tests for lock on fault	Eric B Munson	1	-0/+47
	Test the mmap() flag, and the mlockall() flag. These tests ensure that pages are not faulted in until they are accessed, that the pages are unevictable once faulted in, and that VMA splitting and merging works with the new VM flag. The second test ensures that mlock limits are respected. Note that the limit test needs to be run a normal user. Also add tests to use the new mlock2 family of system calls.
