[PATCH v8 38/46] KVM: selftests: Add helpers to pin pages with CONFIG_GUP_TEST

From: Ackerley Tng via B4 Relay <devnull+ackerleytng.google.com@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-06-19 00:31:51
Also in: b4-sent, kvm, linux-coco, linux-kselftest, linux-mm, linux-trace-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: kernel selftest framework, kernel virtual machine (kvm), the rest · Maintainers: Shuah Khan, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds

From: Ackerley Tng <redacted>

Add helper functions to allow KVM selftests to pin memory using
CONFIG_GUP_TEST. This is useful for testing scenarios where some page has
an increased refcount. such as in guest_memfd in-place conversion tests.

The helpers open /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test and invoke the
PIN_LONGTERM_TEST_START and PIN_LONGTERM_TEST_STOP ioctls. Since this
functionality depends on the kernel being built with CONFIG_GUP_TEST,
provide stub implementations that trigger a test failure if the
configuration is missing.
