From: Lance Yang <lance.y...@linux.dev> 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. Signed-off-by: Lance Yang <lance.y...@linux.dev> --- v1 -> v2: - Rename softdirty_is_supported() to softdirty_supported() (per David) - Drop aarch64 specific handling (per David) - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250917055913.49759-1-lance.y...@linux.dev tools/testing/selftests/mm/madv_populate.c | 21 ++------------------- tools/testing/selftests/mm/soft-dirty.c | 5 ++++- tools/testing/selftests/mm/vm_util.c | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/mm/vm_util.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/madv_populate.c b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/madv_populate.c index b6fabd5c27ed..d8d11bc67ddc 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/madv_populate.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/madv_populate.c @@ -264,23 +264,6 @@ static void test_softdirty(void) munmap(addr, SIZE); } -static int system_has_softdirty(void) -{ - /* - * There is no way to check if the kernel supports soft-dirty, other - * than by writing to a page and seeing if the bit was set.
