On Linux 6.2-rc3, dma_map_benchmark compiles just fine. You do
have to do "make headers_install" first as kselftest depends
on headers being installed in the repo.
Please let me know if you are seeing compile problems even after
installing headers.

Hi Shuah,
thank you for this clarification. Once I run "make headers_install"
before attempting to build the dma_benchmark_test executable with
make -C tools/testing/selftests/ TARGETS="dma"
everything works out nicely - even w/o my patch.
I have to apologize for creating this fuzz. I was not aware that one of
the dependencies for "make kselftest" was "make headers_install", since
I was going straight for the interactive "dma_benchmark_test" control
tool of the test that is implemented in kernel/dma/benchmark_test.c.
I didn't intend to run the full "make kselftest" suite, primarily since
I have distinct test and build systems - most often building cross-
arch, even.
No worries. The reason for this dependency is to ensure kselftest can
test the kernel properly. Tests for new or enhanced kernel features
depend on mew headers. headers_install has been dependency for kselftest
from the beginning and some individual tests depend on it.
The main Makefile (make kselftest) enforces the dependency and installs
headers first. You can use the following commands to compile/run dma test.
This will install the headers and then compile/run dma test.
make kselftest-all TARGETS=dma (compile)
make kselftest TARGETS=dma (compile and run)
So please, disregard the PATCH.
Done.
thanks,
