Subject: selftests/mm: cow: print ksft header before printing anything else
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2023 11:35:58 +0100
Doing a ksft_print_msg() before the ksft_print_header() seems to confuse
the ksft framework in a strange way: running the test on the cmdline
results in the expected output.
But piping the output somewhere else, results in some odd output,
whereby we repeatedly get the same info printed:
# [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB
# [INFO] huge zeropage is enabled
TAP version 13

# [INFO] Anonymous memory tests in private mappings
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with base page
# [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB
# [INFO] huge zeropage is enabled
TAP version 13

# [INFO] Anonymous memory tests in private mappings
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with base page

# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped out base page

# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB

Doing the ksft_print_header() first seems to resolve that and gives us
the output we expect:
TAP version 13
# [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 1048576 KiB
