Hi Mark,

We should consider this test for our memory hotplug regression test
suite.
Could you please look into it?

Thx - Martine

Subject: [Lhms-devel] semi-automated memory migration tests

Hi,

I've put a set of memory migration test programs at

	http://people.valinux.co.jp/~iwamoto/mh/tests/

tests-041126.tar.gz should work either with Dave Hansen's patchset or
with my zone based hotplug emulation patch.

I found the tests does not work well with Dave's patchset.
I've found the followings:

	- setup_per_zone_pages_min() calls should be added in
	   capture_page_range() and online_pages()
	- lru_add_drain() should be called before try_to_migrate_pages()

Unfortunately, I'm still seeing strange problems, which seems to be due
to kernel memory corruption.

How to use tests-041126.tar.gz:

	1. Extract the tarball and make.  You'll need libaio to build
           some programs.  Alternatively, you can build only fork-cow
           and processmem, which don't require libaio.

		$ make fork-cow processmem

	   Read the makefile for details.

	2. Make sure sysfs is mounted on /sys

	3. Unless you booted with the "mem=1024m" boot option and have
           4GB of RAM, edit rotate-dave.sh to set correct $secstart
           and $secend values.

	4. Run the tests.  If you've built all required programs, you
           can simply type "make test" (as root, of course).
	   Otherwise, type "./run.sh 5 ./fork-cow" and so on.
	   You might want to set the NACTIVE environment value, which
           specifies the number of online memory sections during
           tests, greater than 1.
