[libvirt] PATCH: Parallelize OOM testing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The OOM testing takes a long time to run. Add in valgrind, and it takes a
very very very long time to run. My dev box has 8 cpus though and it'd be
nice to use all 8 rather than just 1 to cut the time by a factor of 8. So
this patch tweaks the control harness for the OOM testrig so that it can
fork off multiple worker processes. Each worker is assigned a number from
1 -> n, and will be responsible for test all allocations failures divisible
by their number. 

By default it still runs single process, but if you set VIR_TEST_MP=1 then
we use sysconf() to get the actual number of online CPUs and fork off one
worker per CPU.

eg, so to run the OOM testing with valgrind, parallelized

  $ VIR_TEST_MP=1 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 make valgrind

Or to run a test directly

  $ VIR_TEST_MP=1 VIR_TEST_OOM=1 valgrind --leak-check=full ./xmconfigtest
