Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Add selftests for mshare

Mshare is a developing feature proposed by Anthony Yznaga and Khalid Aziz
that enables sharing of PTEs across processes. The V3 patch set has been
posted for review:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20250820010415.699353-1-anthony.yznaga@oracle.com/

This patch set adds selftests to exercise and demonstrate basic
functionality of mshare.

The initial tests use open, ioctl, and mmap syscalls to establish a shared
memory mapping between two processes and verify the expected behavior.

Additional tests are included to check interoperability with swap and
Transparent Huge Pages.

Future work will extend coverage to other use cases such as integration
with KVM and more advanced scenarios.

This series is intended to be applied on top of mshare V3, which is
based on mm-new (2025-08-15).
