Greetings!
Getting this on my G4 DP on kernel v7.0.2 and v7.1-rc1 via 'modprobe -v
kunit_iov_iter':
[...]
KTAP version 1
1..1
KTAP version 1
# Subtest: iov_iter
# module: kunit_iov_iter
1..12
# iov_kunit_copy_to_kvec: ASSERTION FAILED at lib/tests/
kunit_iov_iter.c:63
Expected got == npages, but
got == 1 (0x1)
npages == 256 (0x100)
not ok 1 iov_kunit_copy_to_kvec
This happens in alloc_pages_bulk_noprof(), due to
pcp = pcp_spin_trylock(zone->per_cpu_pageset);
if (!pcp)
goto failed;
Because:
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
[...]
/*
* On CONFIG_SMP=n the UP implementation of spin_trylock() never fails
and thus
* is not compatible with our locking scheme. However we do not need
pcp for
* scalability in the first place, so just make all the trylocks fail
and take
* the slow path unconditionally.
*/
#else
#define pcp_spin_trylock(ptr) \
NULL
So apparently it is expected that alloc_pages_bulk() returns 1 on non-SMP.

Suppose this may be a ppc/BE specific test failure as I don't get it on
my Thinkpad T60 (x86).
Full dmesg and kernel .config available on request.
