Let's add a new test for checking whether GUP long-term page pinning works as expected (R/O vs. R/W, MAP_PRIVATE vs. MAP_SHARED, GUP vs. GUP-fast). Note that COW handling with long-term R/O pinning in private mappings, and pinning of anonymous memory in general, is tested by the COW selftest. This test, therefore, focuses on page pinning in file mappings. The most interesting case is probably the "local tmpfile" case, as that will likely end up on a "real" filesystem such as ext4 or xfs, not on a virtual one like tmpfs or hugetlb where any long-term page pinning is always expected to succeed. For now, only add tests that use the "/sys/kernel/debug/gup_test" interface. We'll add tests based on liburing separately next.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
