If not enough physical memory is available the kernel may fail mmap(); see __vm_enough_memory() and vm_commit_limit(). In that case the logic in validate_complete_va_space() does not make sense and will even incorrectly fail. Instead skip the test if no mmap() succeeded. Fixes: 010409649885 ("selftests/mm: confirm VA exhaustion without reliance on correctness of mmap()") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de> --- The logic in __vm_enough_memory() seems weird. It describes itself as "Check that a process has enough memory to allocate a new virtual mapping", however it never checks the current memory usage of the process. So it only disallows large mappings. But many small mappings taking the same amount of memory are allowed; and then even automatically merged into one big mapping. --- tools/testing/selftests/mm/virtual_address_range.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+)
