Hi David,
Our (arm64) CI is showing a regression in split_huge_page_test from mm selftests from next-20240805 onwards. Navigating around a couple of other lurking bugs, I was able to bisect to this change (which smells about right).
Newly failing test:
# # ------------------------------
# # running ./split_huge_page_test
# # ------------------------------
# # TAP version 13
# # 1..12
# # Bail out! Still AnonHugePages not split
# # # Planned tests != run tests (12 != 0)
# # # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
# # [FAIL]
# not ok 52 split_huge_page_test # exit=1
It's trying to split some pmd-mapped THPs then checking and finding that they are not split. The split is requested via /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages, which I believe ends up in this function you are modifying here. Although I'll admit that looking at the change, there is nothing obviously wrong! Any ideas?
Nothing jumps at me as well. Let me fire up the debugger :)
