test_drop_file_cache: posix_fadvise cache-drop proof fails when /tmp is tmpfs #3157
Reproduced with no other change in the tree; not caused by any pending work.
This box's /tmp is a 32G tmpfs mount (df -h /tmp). posix_fadvise(..., POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) on a tmpfs-backed file cannot evict pages the way it
does on a real block-device-backed file, because tmpfs pages are the storage,
not a cache of it -- so the eviction proof this test asserts on can never
succeed there. Either the test needs a non-tmpfs scratch directory, or drop_file_cache needs to detect a tmpfs target and skip/report accordingly.
Filed without a fix in the same flow: found as a side effect of unrelated
work (ORACLE-VLLM-ROCM-GFX1200-DOCKER, #2961) and needs its own
investigation into the right fix (relocate the test's scratch dir vs. teach drop_file_cache about tmpfs) rather than a guess landed in a hurry.
