Patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure", v3. These three patches fix the va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure on x86_64. Patch 1 fixes the hugepage setup issue that nr_hugepages is reset too early in run_vmtests.sh and break the later va_high_addr_switch testing. Patch 2 adds hugepage setup in va_high_addr_switch test, so that it can still work if vm_runtests.sh changes the hugepage setup someday. Patch 3 fixes the test failure caused by the hint addr align method change in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(). This patch (of 3): The nr_hugepgs variable is used to keep the original nr_hugepages at the hugepage setup step at test beginning. After userfaultfd test, a cleaup is executed, both /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-*/nr_hugepages and /proc/sys//vm/nr_hugepages are reset to 'original' value before userfaultfd test starts. Issue here is the value used to restore /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is nr_hugepgs which is the initial value before the vm_runtests.sh runs, not the value before userfaultfd test starts. 'va_high_addr_swith.sh' tests runs after that will possibly see no hugepages available for test, and got EINVAL when mmap(HUGETLB), making the result invalid. And before pkey tests, nr_hugepgs is changed to be used as a temp variable to save nr_hugepages before pkey test, and restore it after pkey tests finish. The original nr_hugepages value is not tracked anymore, so no way to restore it after all tests finish. Add a new variable orig_nr_hugepgs to save the original nr_hugepages, and and restore it to nr_hugepages after all tests finish. And change to use the nr_hugepgs variable to save the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugeages after hugepage setup, it's also the value before userfaultfd test starts, and the correct value to be restored after userfaultfd finishes. The va_high_addr_switch.sh broken will be resolved.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
