> Subject: [External] [PATCH 2/4] lib/test_vmalloc.c: Allow built-in execution
>
> This patch removes the dependency on module loading ("m") for the vmalloc
> test suite, enabling it to be built directly into the kernel, so both ("=m") and
> ("=y") are supported.
>
> Motivation:
> - Faster debugging/testing of vmalloc code;
> - It allows to configure the test via kernel-boot parameters.
>
> Configuration example:
> test_vmalloc.nr_threads=64
> test_vmalloc.run_test_mask=7
> test_vmalloc.sequential_test_order=1
>
> Signed-off-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>
