Sorry for the late comment/question.

Where is the test supposed to get the definition of swap()?  When trying to
build, I get:

gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include  -no-pie    userfaultfd.c -lrt -lpthread -o /home/mkravetz/tmp/linux-stable/tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd
userfaultfd.c: In function ‘userfaultfd_stress’:
userfaultfd.c:1530:3: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘swap’; did you mean ‘swab’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
 1530 |   swap(area_src, area_dst);
      |   ^~~~
      |   swab
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccPiwPM0.o: in function `userfaultfd_stress':
userfaultfd.c:(.text+0x4b6d): undefined reference to `swap'
/usr/bin/ld: userfaultfd.c:(.text+0x4b8b): undefined reference to `swap'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../lib.mk:146: /home/mkravetz/tmp/linux-stable/tools/testing/selftests/vm/userfaultfd] Error 1

As far as I can see, swap is only defined in 'include/linux/minmax.h'.
However, that is not part of the user API and not available to the tests.
What am I missing?
