Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 0/3] test driver to analyse vmalloc allocator

Hello.

This is v4. I think it is ready to go with, unless there are extra requests
or comments.

Changes in v4:
    - Since the test can take time, switch to wait_for_completion_timeout()
      with HZ sleep interval to prevent triggering of the trace about hung
      task;
    - Fix clean apply for v4.20 kernel.

Changes in v3:
    - Export __vmalloc_node_range() with _GPL-only prefix;
    - Add skip cases if the test can not be executed in current environment.
      That is kselftest framework requirement.

Changes in v2:
    - Code cleanup to make it more simple;
    - Now __vmalloc_node_range() is exported if CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC_MODULE=m
    - Integrate vmalloc test suite into tools/testing/selftests/vm

I think it is ready to go with, unless there are more requests or comments.

Thank you in advance.

  vmalloc: export __vmalloc_node_range for CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC_MODULE
  vmalloc: add test driver to analyse vmalloc allocator
  selftests/vm: add script helper for CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC_MODULE
