I applied the patch series on top of mainline and verified that the kernel
builds and boots successfully.
I also ran the following test suites on both RADIX (POWER11) and HASH
(POWER9)
MMU configurations:
- tools/testing/selftests/mm
- tools/testing/selftests/memory-hotplug
- tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/mm
- tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/cache_shape
- tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops
In addition, I executed basic sanity and stress tests, including:
stutter, eatmemory, hugepage_sanity, fork_mem, memory_api mprotect,
vatest, and several transparent-hugepage sanity checks.
All tests passed without regressions.
Regards,
Venkat
