Subject: [PATCH v1 0/7] selftests/vm: test COW handling of anonymous memory

On top of mm-stable.

This is my current set of tests for testing COW handling of anonymous
memory, especially when interacting with GUP. I developed these tests
while working on PageAnonExclusive and managed to clean them up just now.

On current upstream Linux, all tests pass except the hugetlb tests that
rely on vmsplice -- these tests should pass as soon as vmsplice properly
uses FOLL_PIN instead of FOLL_GET.

I'm working on additional tests for COW handling in private mappings,
focusing on long-term R/O pinning e.g., of the shared zeropage, pagecache
pages and KSM pages. These tests, however, will go into a different file.
So this is everything I have regarding tests for anonymous memory.
