The test ignores the return value of fork(), so both the parent and the (newly created) child run the COW verification loops and then call hmm_buffer_free() before returning into the kselftest harness, which _exit()s each side. This duplicated teardown sequence has been observed to manifest as a SIGSEGV in the test child, e.g.: hmm-tests[360141]: segfault (11) at 0 nip 10006964 lr 1000ac3c code 1 in hmm-tests[6964,10000000+30000] Fix this by adopting the same fork()-then-wait pattern already used by the nearby anon_write_child / anon_write_child_shared tests in this file: the child performs the COW verification and then _exit(0)s so it does not run the test teardown, while the parent independently verifies COW, waits for the child, and only then frees the buffer.
