selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE

Browse source

Patch series "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory", v4.

The selftest started failing since commit e93d2521b2 ("x86/vdso: Split
virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping") was merged.  While debugging
I stumbled upon some memory usage optimizations.

With these test now runs on a VM with only 60MiB of memory.


This patch (of 4):

When mapping a larger chunk than physical memory is available with
PROT_WRITE and overcommit is disabled, the mapping will fail.  This will
prevent the test from running on systems with less then ~1GiB of memory
and triggering an inscrutinable test failure.  As the mappings are never
written to anyways, the flag can be removed.
