    Patch series "selftests/vm: test COW handling of anonymous memory".
    
    This is my current set of tests for testing COW handling of anonymous
    memory, especially when interacting with GUP.  I developed these tests
    while working on PageAnonExclusive and managed to clean them up just now.
    
    On current upstream Linux, all tests pass except the hugetlb tests that
    rely on vmsplice -- these tests should pass as soon as vmsplice properly
    uses FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET.
    
    I'm working on additional tests for COW handling in private mappings,
    focusing on long-term R/O pinning e.g., of the shared zeropage, pagecache
    pages and KSM pages.  These tests, however, will go into a different file.
    So this is everything I have regarding tests for anonymous memory.
    
    
    This patch (of 7):
    
    Let's start adding tests for our COW handling of anonymous memory.  We'll
    focus on basic tests that we can achieve without additional libraries or
    gup_test extensions.
    
    We'll add THP and hugetlb tests separately.
