Subject: tools/testing/selftests/mm: test anonymous page offset merge behaviour
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 18:32:33 +0100

While maintaining anonymous page offsets for VMAs has no impact for most
merge cases, it does impact MAP_PRIVATE-mapped file-backed mappings which
happen to have matching page offset but not matching anonymous page
offset.

Assert this behaviour by attempting to map an unfaulted MAP_PRIVATE-memfd
region with a faulted one with compatible file page offsets but
incompatible anonymous page offsets.
