Assert that we correctly merge VMAs containing VM_SOFTDIRTY flags now that we correctly handle these as sticky. In order to do so, we have to account for the fact the pagemap interface checks soft dirty PTEs and additionally that newly merged VMAs are marked VM_SOFTDIRTY. We do this by using use unfaulted anon VMAs, establishing one and clearing references on that one, before establishing another and merging the two before checking that soft-dirty is propagated as expected. We check that this functions correctly with mremap() and mprotect() as sample cases, because VMA merge of adjacent newly mapped VMAs will automatically be made soft-dirty due to existing logic which does so. We are therefore exercising other means of merging VMAs.

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.
