Hi,

Reposting for -rc1, with some fixes, and an additional path at the end,
too. I've swept through and looked for problems, as well.

Changes since v2 [1]:

* Rebased onto 5.10-rc1

* Fixed an improper ".." include path, indentified by Linus [2].

* Added an "if (cmd == DUMP_USER_PAGES_TEST)" guard to invoking
dump_pages_test(). Before, it worked, but it's too subtle to depend
merely on struct gup_test.which_pages[] being zeroed out, in order to
avoid dumping pages that are not requested to be dumped.

* Added a patch to the end: 2x speedup for run_vmtests.sh

* Tweaked some commit logs and comments slightly

Original cover letter, edited slightly:

Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller
supporting goodies. The two main points are:

1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version of
gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(), at
least on user-space pages.

For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I
wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me
what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I
realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of
that.

Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit
description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the
dump_pages() sub-test").

2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful,
but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that
libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the
works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes
just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available.

Further details in the commit description of patch #8 ("selftests/vm:
hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency").

Other smaller things that this series does:

a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h.

b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within
run_vmtests.sh.

c) Other minor assorted improvements.
