[PATCH] [kvm-unit-tests PATCH] x86/access: Fix intermittent test failure

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

 



During kvm-unit-test, below failure pattern is observed, this is due to testing thread
migration + cache "lazy" flush during test, so forcely flush the cache to avoid the issue.
Pin the test app to certain physical CPU can fix the issue as well. The error report is
misleading, pke is the victim of the issue.

test user cr4.pke: FAIL: error code 5 expected 4
Dump mapping: address: 0x123400000000
