[LTP] [PATCH V4] madvice: new case for madvise(WILLNEED)

Tue Apr 5 09:04:57 CEST 2016
Page fault occurs in spite that madvise(WILLNEED) system call is called
to prefetch the page. This issue is reproduced by running a program
which sequentially accesses to a shared memory and calls madvise(WILLNEED)
to the next page on a page fault.
Fixed by commit:
55231e5c898 mm: madvise: fix MADV_WILLNEED on shmem swapouts

Notes:
V3 --> V4
* cancel the limitaion of architecture
(test good on x86_64, ppc64 and s390x)

+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Page fault occurs in spite that madvise(WILLNEED) system call is called
+ * to prefetch the page. This issue is reproduced by running a program
+ * which sequentially accesses to a shared memory and calls madvise(WILLNEED)
+ * to the next page on a page fault.
+ *
+ * This bug is present in all RHEL7 versions. It looks like this was fixed in
+ * mainline kernel > v3.15 by the following patch:
+ *
+ * commit 55231e5c898c5c03c14194001e349f40f59bd300
