mm/gup_benchmark: rename to mm/gup_test
Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3. Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller supporting goodies. The two main points are: 1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(), at least on user-space pages. For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of that. Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the dump_pages() sub-test"). 2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful, but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available. Further details in the commit description of patch #8 ("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency"). Other smaller things that this series does: a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h. b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within run_vmtests.sh. c) Other minor assorted improvements. [1] v2 is here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20200929212747.251804-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wgh-TMPHLY3jueHX7Y2fWh3D+nMBqVS__AZm6-oorquWA@mail.gmail.com This patch (of 9): Rename nearly every "gup_benchmark" reference and file name to "gup_test". The one exception is for the actual gup benchmark test itself. The current code already does a *little* bit more than benchmarking, and definitely covers more than get_user_pages_fast(). More importantly, however, subsequent patches are about to add some functionality that is non-benchmark related. Closely related changes: * Kconfig: in addition to renaming the options from GUP_BENCHMARK to GUP_TEST, update the help text to reflect that it's no longer a benchmark-only test.
