Re: [PATCH] selftests/mm: Introduce a test program to assess swap entry allocation for thp_swapout

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

 



Hi Barry,

Thanks for the wonderful test program.

I have also used other swap test programs as well. A lot of those
tests are harder to setup up and run.

This test is very quick and simple to run. It can test some hard to
hit corner cases for me.

I am able to reproduce the warning and the kernel oops with this test program.
So for me, I am using it as a functional test that my allocator did
not produce a crash.
In that regard, it definitely provides value as a function test.

Having a fall percentage output is fine, as long as we don't fail the
test based on performance number.

I am also fine with moving the test to under tools/mm etc. I see good
value to include the test in the tree one way or the other.

Assume we want to keep it as selftest.
You did not add your test in run_vmtests.sh.

You might need something like this:

--- a/tools/testing/selftests/mm/run_vmtests.sh
+++ b/tools/testing/selftests/mm/run_vmtests.sh
@@ -418,6 +418,14 @@ CATEGORY="thp" run_test ./khugepaged -s 2

+# swapoff zram here.
+
 # Try to create XFS if not provided
 if [ -z "${SPLIT_HUGE_PAGE_TEST_XFS_PATH}" ]; then
     if test_selected "thp"; then


You can use the following XFS test as an example of how to setup the zram swap.
XFS uses file system mount, you use swapon.

Also you need to update the usage string in run_vmtests.sh.

BTW, here is how I invoke the test runs:

kselftest_override_timeout=500 make -C tools/testing/selftests
TARGETS=mm run_tests

The time out is not for this test, it is for some other test before
the thp_swap which exit run_vmtests.sh before hitting thp_swap. I am
running in a VM so it is slower than native machine.

This setup needs to go into run_vmtest.sh as well.

Also tear it down after the test.
