[PATCH 3/7] selftests: memcg: Iterate pages based on the actual page size

From: Waiman Long

Date: Thu Mar 19 2026 - 13:42:28 EST


The current test_memcontrol test fault in memory by write a value
to the start of a page based on the default value of 4k page size.
Micro-optimize it by using the actual system page size to do the
iteration.
