expected_pkey_fault() is comparing the contents of pkey register with 0. This may not be true all the time. There could be bits set by default by the architecture which can never be changed. Hence compare the value against shadow pkey register, which is supposed to track the bits accurately all throughout Signed-off-by: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys.c | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys.c b/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys.c index 19ae991..2600f7a 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys.c +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys.c @@ -926,10 +926,10 @@ void expected_pkey_fault(int pkey) pkey_assert(last_pkey_faults + 1 == pkey_faults); pkey_assert(last_si_pkey == pkey); /* - * The signal handler shold have cleared out PKEY register to let the + * The signal handler shold have cleared out pkey-register to let the * test program continue.
