Mark Delcambre, a summer student working with us at OSDL, has been helping code the test cases. http://developer.osdl.org/dev/hotplug/tests/ With this release we now have three of the six test cases implemented: hotplug02: Tasks wrongly migrated to a cpu while it is going off-line. hotplug03: Tasks not scheduled on a newly on-lined cpu hotplug04: Allowing admin error of offlining the last remaining cpu. Descriptions of the tests are available here: http://www.developer.osdl.org/maryedie/HOTPLUG/planning/hotplug_cpu_test_plan_status.html Results on the 4-cpu PPC64 machine: # for file in hot*.sh; do echo; ./$file 3; done Tue Jul 12 16:32:56 PDT 2005 Hotplug Test: Test Case 2 Hotplug02 PASS - turned off CPU 3, process migrated to CPU 0 Tue Jul 12 16:33:03 PDT 2005 Tue Jul 12 16:33:03 PDT 2005 Hotplug Test: Test Case 3 Hotplug03 PASS: do_spin_loop found on CPU3 Tue Jul 12 16:33:08 PDT 2005 Tue Jul 12 16:33:08 PDT 2005 Hotplug Test: Test Case 4 Hotplug04 PASS: Could not shutdown cpu0 Tue Jul 12 16:33:18 PDT 2005 Bryce
