[PATCH 0/2] zram: fix few ltp zram02.sh crashes

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

 



LTP's zram02.sh script can be used to crah your kernel pretty badly.

  cd testcases/kernel/device-drivers/zram
  while true; do PATH=$PATH:$PWD:$PWD/../../../lib/ ./zram02.sh; done

This won't do much, however if you run this in two separate windows
you'll see the kernel become unhappy quite fast. The crux of this
issue was mishandling of cpu hotplug multistate on the zram driver
in consideration for driver unload. However there was still another
long lasting bug present: races with sysfs attributes and driver
unload.

This series fixes these issues.
