Subject: [patch 02/15] selftest: use mmap instead of posix_memalign to allocate memory
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 15:50:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210723225004.VMRataLna%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210723154926.c6cda0f262b1990b950a5886@linux-foundation.org>
From: Peter Collingbourne <pcc@google.com>
Subject: selftest: use mmap instead of posix_memalign to allocate memory
This test passes pointers obtained from anon_allocate_area to the
userfaultfd and mremap APIs. This causes a problem if the system
allocator returns tagged pointers because with the tagged address ABI the
kernel rejects tagged addresses passed to these APIs, which would end up
causing the test to fail. To make this test compatible with such system
allocators, stop using the system allocator to allocate memory in
anon_allocate_area, and instead just use mmap.
