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.Fixes: 010409649885 ("selftests/mm: confirm VA exhaustion without reliance on correctness of mmap()") Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weisssc...@linutronix.de> --- I went with dropping PROT_WRITE instead of adding MAP_NORESERVE as this works even in the face of OVERCOMMIT_NEVER.
Yes, makes sense, it's certainly simpler this way. Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <da...@redhat.com> -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
