The selftest started failing since commit e93d2521b27f ("x86/vdso: Split virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping") was merged. While debugging I stumbled upon some memory usage optimizations.
With these test now runs on a VM with only 60MiB of memory.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de --- Changes in v2: - Drop /dev/null usage - Avoid overcommit restrictions by dropping PROT_WRITE - Avoid high memory usage due to PTEs - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250107-virtual_address_range-tests-v1-0-3834a2fb...
--- Thomas Weißschuh (3): selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Unmap chunks after validation selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Avoid reading VVAR mappings
