The patch titled
Subject: selftests/vm/pkeys: fix assertion in test_pkey_alloc_exhaust()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-vm-pkeys-fix-assertion-in-test_pkey_alloc_exhaust.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Ram Pai <linuxram@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: selftests/vm/pkeys: fix assertion in test_pkey_alloc_exhaust()
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.
