/*
 * memfd GUP test-case
 * This tests memfd interactions with get_user_pages(). We require the
 * fuse_mnt.c program to provide a fake direct-IO FUSE mount-point for us. This
 * file-system delays _all_ reads by 1s and forces direct-IO. This means, any
 * read() on files in that file-system will pin the receive-buffer pages for at
 * least 1s via get_user_pages().
 *
 * We use this trick to race ADD_SEALS against a write on a memfd object. The
 * ADD_SEALS must fail if the memfd pages are still pinned. Note that we use
 * the read() syscall with our memory-mapped memfd object as receive buffer to
 * force the kernel to write into our memfd object.
