[PATCH v15 14/23] selftests/vm/pkeys: Fix assertion in test_pkey_alloc_exhaust()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some pkeys which are valid on the hardware are reserved
and not available for application use. These keys cannot
be allocated.

test_pkey_alloc_exhaust() tries to account for these and
has an assertion which validates if all available pkeys
have been exahaustively allocated. However, the expression
that is currently used is only valid for x86. On powerpc,
a pkey is additionally reserved as compared to x86. Hence,
the assertion is made to use an arch-specific helper to
get the correct count of reserved pkeys.
