Create a selftest that exercises the race between page faults and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) in the same huge page. Do it by running two threads that touches the huge page and madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) at the same time. In case of a SIGBUS coming at pagefault, the test should fail, since we hit the bug. The test doesn't have a signal handler, and if it fails, it fails like the following ---------------------------------- running ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv ---------------------------------- ./run_vmtests.sh: line 186: 595563 Bus error (core dumped) "$@" [FAIL] This selftest goes together with the fix of the bug[1] itself.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
