selftests: mm: skip charge_reserved_hugetlb without killall
charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh tears down background writers with killall from
psmisc. Minimal Ubuntu images do not always provide that tool, so the
selftest fails in cleanup for an environment reason rather than for the
hugetlb behavior it is trying to cover.
Skip the test when killall is unavailable, similar to the existing root
check, so these environments report the dependency clearly instead of
failing the test.

selftests/mm/vm_util: robust write_file()
Add three more checks for buflen and numwritten. The buflen should be at
least two, that means at least one char and the null-end. The error case
check is added by checking numwriten < 0 instead of numwritten < 1. And
the truncate case is checked. The test will exit if any of these
conditions aren't met.
Additionally, add more print information when a write failure occurs or a
truncated write happens, providing clearer diagnostics.

selftests/mm: move write_file helper to vm_util
thp_settings provides write_file() helper for safely writing to a file and
exit when write failure happens. It's a very low level helper and many
sub tests need such a helper, not only thp tests.
split_huge_page_test also defines a write_file locally. The two have
minior differences in return type and used exit api. And there would be
conflicts if split_huge_page_test wanted to include thp_settings.h because
of different prototype, making it less convenient.
It's possisble to merge the two, although some tests don't use the
kselftest infrastrucutre for testing. It would also work when using the
ksft_exit_msg() to exit in my test, as the counters are all zero. Output
will be like:
TAP version 13
1..62
Bail out! /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches1 open failed: No such file or directory
# Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
So here we just keep the version in split_huge_page_test, and move it into
the vm_util. This makes it easy to maitain and user could just include
one vm_util.h when they don't need thp setting helpers. Keep the
prototype of void return as the function will exit on any error, return
value is not necessary, and will simply the callers like write_num() and
write_string().

Several HMM tests hardcode TWOMEG as the THP size. This is wrong on
architectures where the PMD size is not 2MB such as arm64 with 64K base
pages where THP is 512MB. Fix this by using read_pmd_pagesize() from
vm_util instead.
While here also replace the custom file_read_ulong() helper used to
parse the default hugetlbfs page size from /proc/meminfo with the
existing default_huge_page_size() from vm_util.

selftests/mm: skip hugetlb_dio tests when DIO alignment is incompatible
hugetlb_dio test uses sub-page offsets (pagesize / 2) to verify that
hugepages used as DIO user buffers are correctly unpinned
selftests/mm: skip hugetlb_dio tests when DIO alignment is incompatible
hugetlb_dio test uses sub-page offsets (pagesize / 2) to verify that
hugepages used as DIO user buffers are correctly unpinned at completion.
However, on filesystems with a logical block size larger than half the
page size (e.g., 4K-sector block devices), these unaligned DIO writes are
rejected with -EINVAL, causing the test to fail unexpectedly.
Add get_dio_alignment() to query the filesystem's required DIO alignment
via statx(STATX_DIOALIGN) and skip individual test cases whose file offset
or write size is not a multiple of that alignment. Aligned cases continue
to run so the core coverage is preserved.
While here, open the temporary file once in main() and share the fd across
all test cases instead of reopening it in each invocation.
=== Reproduce Steps ===
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.img bs=1M count=512
# losetup --sector-size 4096 /dev/loop0 /tmp/test.img
# mkfs.xfs /dev/loop0
# mkdir -p /mnt/dio_test
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/dio_test
// Modify test to open /mnt/dio_test and rebuild it:
- fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR | O_DIRECT, 0664);
+ fd = open("/mnt/dio_test", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR | O_DIRECT, 0664);

selftests/mm: add memory failure anonymous page test
Patch series "selftests/mm: add memory failure selftests", v4.
Introduce selftests to validate the functionality of memory failure.
These tests help ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages,
pagecaches pages works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user
processes, page isolation, and recovery paths.
Currently madvise syscall is used to inject memory failures. And only
anonymous pages and pagecaches are tested. More test scenarios, e.g.
hugetlb, shmem, thp, will be added. Also more memory failure injecting
methods will be supported, e.g. APEI Error INJection, if required.
This patch (of 3):
This patch adds a new kselftest to validate memory failure handling for
anonymous pages. The test performs the following operations:
1. Allocates anonymous pages using mmap().
2. Injects memory failure via madvise syscall.
3. Verifies expected error handling behavior.
4. Unpoison memory.
This test helps ensure that memory failure handling for anonymous pages
works correctly, including proper SIGBUS delivery to user processes, page
isolation and recovery paths.

selftests/mm: have the harness run each test category separately
At present the mm selftests are integrated into the kselftest harness by
having it run run_vmtest.sh and letting it pick it's default set of tests
to invoke, rather than by telling the kselftest framework about each test
program individually as is more standard. This has some unfortunate
interactions with the kselftest harness:
- If any of the tests hangs the harness will kill the entire mm
selftests run rather than just the individual test, meaning no
further tests get run.
- The timeout applied by the harness is applied to the whole run rather
than an individual test which frequently leads to the suite not being
completed in production testing.
Deploy a crude but effective mitigation for these issues by telling the
kselftest framework to run each of the test categories that run_vmtests.sh
has separately. Since kselftest really wants to run test programs this is
done by providing a trivial wrapper script for each categorty that invokes
run_vmtest.sh, this is not a thing of great elegence but it is clear and
simple. Since run_vmtests.sh is doing runtime support detection, scenario
enumeration and setup for many of the tests we can't consistently tell the
framework about the individual test programs.
This has the side effect of reordering the tests, hopefully the testing
is not overly sensitive to this.

selftests/mm: remove virtual_address_range test

selftests/mm: remove virtual_address_range test
This self test is asserting internal implementation details and is highly
vulnerable to internal kernel changes as a result.
It is currently failing locally from at least v6.17, and it seems that it
may have been failing for longer in many configurations/hardware as it
skips if e.g. CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME is not specified.
With these skips and the fact that run_vmtests.sh won't run the tests in
certain configurations it is likely we have simply missed this test being
broken in CI for a long while.
I have tried multiple versions of these tests and am unable to find a
working bisect as previous versions of the test fail also.
The tests are essentially mmap()'ing a series of mappings with no hint and
asserting what the get_unmapped_area*() functions will come up with, with
seemingly few checks for what other mappings may already be in place.
It then appears to be mmap()'ing with a hint, and making a series of
similar assertions about the internal implementation details of the
hinting logic.
Commit 0ef3783d7558 ("selftests/mm: add support to test 4PB VA on PPC64"),
commit 3bd6137220bb ("selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: avoid reading
from VM_IO mappings"), and especially commit a005145b9c96 ("selftests/mm:
virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE") are good examples of
the whack-a-mole nature of maintaining this test.
The last commit there being particularly pertinent as it was accounting
for an internal implementation detail change that really should have no
bearing on self-tests, that is commit e93d2521b27f ("x86/vdso: Split
virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping").
The purpose of the mm self-tests are to assert attributes about the API
exposed to users, and to ensure that expectations are met.
This test is emphatically not doing this, rather making a series of
assumptions about internal implementation details and asserting them.
It therefore, sadly, seems that the best course is to remove this test
altogether.

selftests/mm: report SKIP in pfnmap if a check fails

selftests/mm: report SKIP in pfnmap if a check fails
pfnmap currently checks the target file in FIXTURE_SETUP(pfnmap), meaning
once for every test, and skips the test if any check fails.
The target file is the same for every test so this is a little overkill.
More importantly, this approach means that the whole suite will report
PASS even if all the tests are skipped because kernel configuration (e.g.
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y) prevented /dev/mem from being mapped, for
instance.
Let's ensure that KSFT_SKIP is returned as exit code if any check fails by
performing the checks in pfnmap_init(), run once. That function also
takes care of finding the offset of the pages to be mapped and saves it in
a global. The file is now opened only once and the fd saved in a global,
but it is still mapped/unmapped for every test, as some of them modify the
mapping.
