selftests: mm: add a test for remapping to area immediately after existing mapping
This patch adds support for verifying that we correctly handle the situation where something is already mapped before the destination of the remap. Any realignment of destination address and PMD-copy will destroy that existing mapping. In such cases, we need to avoid doing the optimization. To test this, we map an area called the preamble before the remap region. Then we verify after the mremap operation that this region did not get corrupted. Putting some prints in the kernel, I verified that we optimize correctly in different situations: Optimize when there is alignment and no previous mapping (this is tested by previous patch). <prints> can_align_down(old_vma->vm_start=2900000, old_addr=2900000, mask=-2097152): 0 can_align_down(new_vma->vm_start=2f00000, new_addr=2f00000, mask=-2097152): 0 === Starting move_page_tables === Doing PUD move for 2800000 -> 2e00000 of extent=200000 <-- Optimization Doing PUD move for 2a00000 -> 3000000 of extent=200000 Doing PUD move for 2c00000 -> 3200000 of extent=200000 </prints> Don't optimize when there is alignment but there is previous mapping (this is tested by this patch). Notice that can_align_down() returns 1 for the destination mapping as we detected there is something there. <prints> can_align_down(old_vma->vm_start=2900000, old_addr=2900000, mask=-2097152): 0 can_align_down(new_vma->vm_start=5700000, new_addr=5700000, mask=-2097152): 1 === Starting move_page_tables === Doing move_ptes for 2900000 -> 5700000 of extent=100000 <-- Unoptimized Doing PUD move for 2a00000 -> 5800000 of extent=200000 Doing PUD move for 2c00000 -> 5a00000 of extent=200000 </prints> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230903151328.2981432-6-joel@joelfernandes.orgSigned-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lstoakes@gmail.com> Cc: Kalesh Singh <kaleshsingh@google.com> Cc: "Kirill A.
