[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/1] brk02: Add test for removing more than one VMA

Hi Liam,

> When brk expands, it attempts to expand a VMA.  This expansion will
> succeed depending on the anonymous VMA chain and if the vma flags are
> compatible.  This test expands brk() then calls mprotect to ensure the
> next brk call will create a new VMA, then it calls brk a final time to
> restore the first brk address.  The test is the final brk call which
> will remove more than an entire VMA from the vm area.

I'll put this as a docparse formatting (will show in our documentation):

/*\
 * [DESCRIPTION]
 * Expand brk() by at least 2 pages to ensure there is a newly created VMA
 * and not expanding the original due to multiple anon pages.  mprotect() that
 * new VMA then brk() back to the original address therefore causing a munmap of
 * at least one full VMA.

Shouldn't there be a check?

	if (brk_addr == (void *) -1)
		tst_brk(TBROK, "sbrk() failed");

nit: remove dot at the end.

No need to repost if you agree with these changes below.

Kind regards,
