From 0389c305ef56cbadca4cbef44affc0ec3213ed30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lance Yang lance.yang@linux.dev Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 21:31:37 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] selftests/mm: skip soft-dirty tests when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled
The madv_populate and soft-dirty kselftests currently fail on systems where CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is disabled.
Introduce a new helper softdirty_supported() into vm_util.c/h to ensure tests are properly skipped when the feature is not enabled.
