selftests/mm: add folio_split() and filemap_get_entry() race test
The added folio_split_race_test is a modified C port of the race condition test from [1]. The test creates shmem huge pages, where the main thread punches holes in the shmem to cause folio_split() in the kernel and a set of 16 threads reads the shmem to cause filemap_get_entry() in the kernel. filemap_get_entry() reads the folio and xarray split by folio_split() locklessly. The original test[2] is written in rust and uses memfd (shmem backed). This C port uses shmem directly and use a single process.
Note: the initial rust to C conversion is done by Cursor.

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: 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.
