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.
