[PATCH v7 3/5] userfaultfd: selftests: modify selftest to use /dev/userfaultfd

From: Axel Rasmussen
Date: Fri Aug 19 2022 - 16:53:11 EST


We clearly want to ensure both userfaultfd(2) and /dev/userfaultfd keep
working into the future, so just run the test twice, using each
interface.

Instead of always testing both userfaultfd(2) and /dev/userfaultfd,
let the user choose which to test.

As with other test features, change the behavior based on a new
command line flag. Introduce the idea of "test mods", which are
generic (not specific to a test type) modifications to the behavior of
the test. This is sort of borrowed from this RFC patch series [1], but
simplified a bit.

The benefit is, in "typical" configurations this test is somewhat slow
(say, 30sec or something). Testing both clearly doubles it, so it may
not always be desirable, as users are likely to use one or the other,
but never both, in the "real world".
