Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 4/4] selftests/mm: Fix test result reporting in
 gup_longterm

This seems to be causing tests to fail rather than be skipped if hugetlb
isn't configured. I bisected the problem to this patch so it's definitely
changed how things are handled (though of course it might just be
_revealing_ some previously existing bug in this test...).

Using a couple of tests as an example:

Before this patch:

# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin in MAP_PRIVATE file mapping ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB)
ok 39 # SKIP memfd_create() failed (Cannot allocate memory)
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin in MAP_PRIVATE file mapping ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)
ok 40 # SKIP memfd_create() failed (Cannot allocate memory)

After:

# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin in MAP_PRIVATE file mapping ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB)
# memfd_create() failed (Cannot allocate memory)
not ok 39 R/O longterm GUP-fast pin in MAP_PRIVATE file mapping ... with memfd hugetlb (2048 kB)
# [RUN] R/O longterm GUP-fast pin in MAP_PRIVATE file mapping ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)
# memfd_create() failed (Cannot allocate memory)
not ok 40 R/O longterm GUP-fast pin in MAP_PRIVATE file mapping ... with memfd hugetlb (1048576 kB)

See below, I think I've found where it happens...

I think it's this change that does it (probably).

I wonder if it's worth checking for errno == ENOMEM and skipping in this
case? Or is that too general?
