selftest: mm: Test if hugepage does not get leaked during __bio_release_pages()
Commit 1b151e24 ("block: Remove special-casing of compound pages") caused a change in behaviour when releasing the pages if the buffer does not start at the beginning of the page. This was because the calculation of the number of pages to release was incorrect. This was fixed by commit 38b43539 ("block: Fix page refcounts for unaligned buffers in __bio_release_pages()"). We pin the user buffer during direct I/O writes. If this buffer is a hugepage, bio_release_page() will unpin it and decrement all references and pin counts at ->bi_end_io. However, if any references to the hugepage remain post-I/O, the hugepage will not be freed upon unmap, leading to a memory leak. This patch verifies that a hugepage, used as a user buffer for DIO operations, is correctly freed upon unmapping, regardless of whether the offsets are aligned or unaligned w.r.t page boundary.
