Lorenzo Stoakes lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com tools/testing/selftests: add forked (un)/faulted VMA merge tests
These are failing for me on arm64 and I think arm (something literally exploded in my lab so the arm bisect didn't complete yet due to the half of the lab with that board being powered off until I get that fixed), that in turn causes a new top level failure of the merge selftest program but the actual failure is purely newly added tests not working so I don't think the kernel itself is any worse than it was before. The tests are OK in Linus' tree so we are I guess missing a backport?

However:
Lorenzo Stoakes lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com tools/testing/selftests: add forked (un)/faulted VMA merge tests
These are failing for me on arm64 and I think arm (something literally exploded in my lab so the arm bisect didn't complete yet due to the half of the lab with that board being powered off until I get that fixed), that in turn causes a new top level failure of the merge selftest program but the actual failure is purely newly added tests not working so I don't think the kernel itself is any worse than it was before. The tests are OK in Linus' tree so we are I guess missing a backport?
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend running these tests as they repro the the bug that the backport fixes :)
You may experience instability as a result of that.
I'm fixing the failed backport to 6.18.y literally right now, should have it out soon.
I guess maybe I should have put a 'please do not take this until previous patch was taken' note in there, but ther we go.
Cheers, Lorenzo
