The patch titled Subject: userfaultfd: selftest: vm: allow to build in vm/ directory has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is userfaultfd-selftest-vm-allow-to-build-in-vm-directory.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/userfaultfd-selftest-vm-allow-to-build-in-vm-directory.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/userfaultfd-selftest-vm-allow-to-build-in-vm-directory.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: userfaultfd: selftest: vm: allow to build in vm/ directory linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm $ make gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include compaction_test.c -lrt -o /compaction_test /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.9.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot open output file /compaction_test: Permission denied collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [../lib.mk:54: /compaction_test] Error 1 Since commit a8ba798bc8ec ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT") selftests/vm build fails if run from the "selftests/vm" directory, but it works in the selftests/ directory. It's quicker to be able to do a local vm-only build after a tree wipe and this patch allows for it again.
