Subject: kselftest: vm: fix mdwe's mmap_FIXED test case
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2023 17:08:54 +0200
I checked with the original author, the mmap_FIXED test case wasn't
properly tested and fails. Currently, it maps two consecutive (non
overlapping) pages and expects the second mapping to be denied by MDWE but
these two pages have nothing to do with each other so MDWE is actually out
of the picture here.
What the test actually intended to do was to remap a virtual address using
MAP_FIXED. However, this operation unmaps the existing mapping and
creates a new one so the va is backed by a new page and MDWE is again out
of the picture, all remappings should succeed.
This patch keeps the test case to make it clear that this situation is
expected to work: MDWE shouldn't block a MAP_FIXED replacement.
