selftests: mm: skip charge_reserved_hugetlb without killall

2026-04-18T07:10:56Z

charge_reserved_hugetlb.sh tears down background writers with killall from psmisc. Minimal Ubuntu images do not always provide that tool, so the selftest fails in cleanup for an environment reason rather than for the hugetlb behavior it is trying to cover. Skip the test when killall is unavailable, similar to the existing root check, so these environments report the dependency clearly instead of failing the test.

selftests/mm/vm_util: robust write_file()

2026-04-18T07:10:54Z

Add three more checks for buflen and numwritten. The buflen should be at least two, that means at least one char and the null-end. The error case check is added by checking numwriten < 0 instead of numwritten < 1. And the truncate case is checked. The test will exit if any of these conditions aren't met. Additionally, add more print information when a write failure occurs or a truncated write happens, providing clearer diagnostics.

selftests/mm: move write_file helper to vm_util

2026-04-18T07:10:54Z

thp_settings provides write_file() helper for safely writing to a file and exit when write failure happens. It's a very low level helper and many sub tests need such a helper, not only thp tests. split_huge_page_test also defines a write_file locally. The two have minior differences in return type and used exit api. And there would be conflicts if split_huge_page_test wanted to include thp_settings.h because of different prototype, making it less convenient. It's possisble to merge the two, although some tests don't use the kselftest infrastrucutre for testing. It would also work when using the ksft_exit_msg() to exit in my test, as the counters are all zero. Output will be like: TAP version 13 1..62 Bail out! /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches1 open failed: No such file or directory # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 So here we just keep the version in split_huge_page_test, and move it into the vm_util. This makes it easy to maitain and user could just include one vm_util.h when they don't need thp setting helpers. Keep the prototype of void return as the function will exit on any error, return value is not necessary, and will simply the callers like write_num() and write_string().
