[LTP] [PATCH v3] Add mincore() test for pages cached by another process

Mon Aug 3 09:13:12 CEST 2020


It tests the result of mincore when memory is mapped and cached by
another process. A file is mapped in both parent and child
process.Then the mapped memory is accessed in the child process. The
results of mincore are tested in the parent process.
