------------------------------------------------------ From: Donet Tom donettom@linux.ibm.com Subject: selftests: hugetlb_dio: fixup check for initial conditions to skip in the start Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2024 00:49:03 -0600

This test verifies that a hugepage, used as a user buffer for DIO operations, is correctly freed upon unmapping. To test this, we read the count of free hugepages before and after the mmap, DIO, and munmap operations, then check if the free hugepage count is the same.

Reading free hugepages before the test was removed by commit 0268d4579901 ('selftests: hugetlb_dio: check for initial conditions to skip at the start'), causing the test to always fail.

This patch adds back reading the free hugepages before starting the test. With this patch, the tests are now passing.
