Subject: [RFC PATCH] Hugetlb: Migrating hugetlb tests from libhugetlbfs

Libhugetlbfs is not being maintained actively, and some distro is
dropping support for it. There are some tests that are good for testing
hugetlb functionality in kernel, which can be migrated to either kernel
kselftests or LTP.
I am submitting this patch to get comments from community on the
following
1. The test framework in ltp is most suitable for the tests that are
in libhugetlbfs/tests/ which follow similar test framework. And there
is already a section for hugetlb specific tests in LTP. So it makes
more sense and less effort to migrate the test to LTP. Though I
recommend migrating these tests to LTP, I would like to discuss tests
should be migrated to LTP or kselftests.
2. Libhugetlbfs tests has license GNU Lesser GPL 2.1 or later, while
kernel and LTP has license GPL2 or later, so can the test be
migrated to kernel/kselftests or LTP.

The below patch is libhugetlbfs/tests/direct.c which has been migrated
to ltp/testcases/kernel/mem/hugetlb/hugemmap/hugemmap07.c

There should be a SPDX licence identifier here instead.

Also testcase should include a special ascii-doc formatted comment here
that describes the purpose of the test.

Uppercase is reserved for macros in C.

Have you run 'make check' to check for common mistakes before
submitting?

I would say that fd and nfd in the original code was were better names,
shorter and to the point. See also:

We do have SAFE_MMAP() as well.

And we have SAFE_WRITE(), SAFE_READ(), and SAFE_LSEEK() as well.

Also tst_brk(TFAIL, "") usage is deprecated and should not be used in
new tests.

You should close filedescriptors and unmap memory here, otherwise the
test will fail with large enough -i parameter.

Ideally all files created outside of the test temporary directory should
be prefixed with "ltp_"

> + snprintf(NTEMPFILE, sizeof(NTEMPFILE), "%s/nmmapfile%d", "/home/", getpid());

Please do not create any files outside of the test temporary directory,
also as the temporary directory is unique already, there is no need to
actually create the second tempfile name like this. All we need to do is
to is something as:

#define NTEMPFILE "tempfile"

As mentioned in the patch description, there is a conflict in license,
That is why, I have avoided to put any of them in the header. Once
confirmed within the community, I can add the original license here.
(GPL2.1+) as
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines
this says only to add code with GPL2.0+.

As far as I can tell there is no GPL2.1+ the only 2.1 version in
existence is LGPL.

GPL2.1+ usually happens to be an error when someone takes library header
with LGPL2.1+ license and removes the "Lesser" part.

However it looks like the whole libhugetlbfs is under LGPL2.1+ which
kind of makes sense for a library, but not so much for the tests since
these do not provide a library that can be linked againts at all.

Hi,

Thanks for confirming.

There is one more confirmation I required
before I submit a patch series on necessary libhugetlbfs tests,
