selftests/mm: run_vmtests.sh: fail if invoked from the wrong directory

[PATCH v2] selftests/mm: run_vmtests.sh: fail if invoked from the wrong directory

Posted by Sun Jian 4 weeks, 1 day ago

run_vmtests.sh assumes it is invoked from tools/testing/selftests/mm.
When run from another working directory, relative paths can lead to
confusing failures. Detect this case and abort with a clear message.
