It's deemed to test expected behaviour with deterministic tests. stress tests probably don't fit well there although it should be no problem if they are short. > I also have a series of in kernel benchmarks for the page allocation, vm > statistics and slab allocators that could be useful to included somewhere. > > All this code runs in the kernel context. > > For the in kernel benchmarks I am creating modules that fail to load but > first run the tests. Hmm, benchmarks tend to require some user analysis, I'm not sure if a batch of validation tests is the right place for them. But loading modules is probably not a problem. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
