[ Upstream commit a6fcd57cf2df409d35e9225b8dbad6f937b28df0 ] Doing a ksft_print_msg() before the ksft_print_header() seems to confuse the ksft framework in a strange way: running the test on the cmdline results in the expected output. But piping the output somewhere else, results in some odd output, whereby we repeatedly get the same info printed: # [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB # [INFO] huge zeropage is enabled TAP version 13 1..190 # [INFO] Anonymous memory tests in private mappings # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with base page # [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB # [INFO] huge zeropage is enabled TAP version 13 1..190 # [INFO] Anonymous memory tests in private mappings # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with base page ok 1 No leak from parent into child # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped out base page # [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB # [INFO] huge zeropage is enabled Doing the ksft_print_header() first seems to resolve that and gives us the output we expect: TAP version 13 # [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB # [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB # [INFO] huge zeropage is enabled 1..190 # [INFO] Anonymous memory tests in private mappings # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with base page ok 1 No leak from parent into child # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped out base page ok 2 No leak from parent into child # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with THP ok 3 No leak from parent into child # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped-out THP ok 4 No leak from parent into child # [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with PTE-mapped THP ok 5 No leak from parent into child Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231206103558.38040-1-david@redhat.com Fixes: f4b5fd6946e2 ("selftests/vm: anon_cow: THP tests") Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Reported-by: Nico Pache <npache@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
