I never had much luck running mm selftests so I spent a few hours digging into why.
Looks like most of the reason is missing SKIP checks, so this series is just adding a bunch of those that I found. I did not do anything like all of them, just the ones I spotted in gup_longterm, gup_test, mmap, userfaultfd and memfd_secret.
It's a bit unfortunate to have to skip those tests when ftruncate() fails, but I don't have time to dig deep enough into it to actually make them pass. I have observed the issue on 9pfs and heard rumours that NFS has a similar problem.
I'm now able to run these test groups successfully:
- mmap - gup_test - compaction - migration - page_frag - userfaultfd
Signed-off-by: Brendan Jackman jackmanb@google.com --- Changes in v3: - Added fix for userfaultfd tests. - Dropped attempts to use sudo. - Fixed garbage printf in uffd-stress. (Added EXTRA_CFLAGS=-Werror FORCE_TARGETS=1 to my scripts to prevent such errors happening again). - Fixed missing newlines in ksft_test_result_skip() calls. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250221-mm-selftests-v2-0-28c4d66383c5@google.com
Changes in v2 (Thanks to Dev for the reviews): - Improve and cleanup some error messages - Add some extra SKIPs - Fix misnaming of nr_cpus variable in uffd tests - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250220-mm-selftests-v1-0-9bbf57d64463@google.com
