Hi, thank you for your reply.

I hope this is enough information for you to debug the issue.

I am standing by for any additional diagnostics needed.

Won't userfaultfd.c fail in a similar way?

Anyhow, khugepaged.c jas

#ifndef MADV_PAGEOUT
#define MADV_PAGEOUT 21
#endif

So most probably we should do the same.

Actually, David, it turned out that userfaultfd.c compiled
out-of-the-box, and side-by-side comparison showed that it also included
"/home/marvin/linux/kernel/linux_torvalds/usr/include/asm-generic/mman-common.h"

The only remaining difference was including <linux/mman.h>, which fixed
the issue w/o #ifdef ... #endif

Hope this helps.

Please find the following diff.

I already sent a different fix [1]. I suspect when including
linux/mman.h, it would still be problematic with older kernel
headers that lack MADV_PAGEOUT (< v5.4).

I see your point.

But yeah, I saw that userfaultfd.c was fixed that way:

     kselftest/vm: fix tests build with old libc
     The error message when I build vm tests on debian10 (GLIBC 2.28):
         userfaultfd.c: In function `userfaultfd_pagemap_test':
         userfaultfd.c:1393:37: error: `MADV_PAGEOUT' undeclared (first use
         in this function); did you mean `MADV_RANDOM'?
           if (madvise(area_dst, test_pgsize, MADV_PAGEOUT))
                                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~
                                              MADV_RANDOM
     This patch includes these newer definitions from UAPI linux/mman.h, is
    useful to fix tests build on systems without these definitions in glibc
     sys/mman.h.

You're the boss :)

However, IMHO, having MADV_PAGEOUT defined in three or four places could
make like miserable. OK, it is unlikely to change value, but something
tells me that the right way to do it is to guarantee that the macro
definition is unique.

I don't know what would be the right thing to do in pre-5.4 kernels
w/o MADV_PAGEOUT defined.

Probably then the "(madvise(area_dst, test_pgsize, MADV_PAGEOUT)" gives
EINVAL or is undefined?
