Changes since v1:
* check_config.sh now invokes the compiler via the Makefile's ($CC), thanks to Jason Gunthorpe for calling that out.
* Removed a misleading sentence from patch #6, as identified by Ira Weiny.
* Removed a forward-looking sentence, about using -lpthread in gup_test.c soon, from the commit message in patch #4, since I'm not yet sure if my local pthread-based stress tests are actually worthwhile or not.
Original cover letter, still accurate at this point:
This is based on the latest mmotm.
Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller supporting goodies. The two main points are:
1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(), at least on user-space pages.
For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of that.
Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit description for patch #6.
2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful, but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available.
Further details in the commit description of patch #8.
Other smaller things that this series does:
a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h.
b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within run_vmtests.sh.
c) Other minor assorted improvements.
