When changed the content of one of merged pages in a * process and to the mode "unmerging", it should discard all merged * pages there. Also tested it is possible to disable KSM. There are * also command-line options to specify the memory allocation size, and * number of processes have same memory contents so it is possible to * test more advanced things like KSM + OOM etc. * * Prerequisites: * * 1) ksm and ksmtuned daemons need to be disabled. Otherwise, it could * distrub the testing as they also change some ksm tunables depends * on current workloads. * * The test steps are: * - Check ksm feature and backup current run setting. * - Change run setting to 1 - merging. * - 3 memory allocation programs have the memory contents that 2 of * them are all 'a' and one is all 'b'. * - Check ksm statistics and verify the content. * - 1 program changes the memory content from all 'a' to all 'b'. * - Check ksm statistics and verify the content. * - All programs change the memory content to all 'd'. * - Check ksm statistics and verify the content. * - Change one page of a process. * - Check ksm statistics and verify the content. * - Change run setting to 2 - unmerging. * - Check ksm statistics and verify the content. * - Change run setting to 0 - stop. */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "mem.h" #include "ksm_common.h" static void verify_ksm(void) { create_same_memory(size, num, unit); } static void setup(void) { parse_ksm_options(opt_sizestr, &size, opt_numstr, &num, opt_unitstr, &unit); } static struct tst_test test = { .needs_root = 1, .forks_child = 1, .options = (struct tst_option[]) { {"n:", &opt_numstr, "Number of processes"}, {"s:", &opt_sizestr, "Memory allocation size in MB"}, {"u:", &opt_unitstr, "Memory allocation unit in MB"}, {} }, .setup = setup, .save_restore = (const struct tst_path_val[]) { {"/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run", NULL, TST_SR_TBROK}, {"/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs", NULL, TST_SR_TBROK}, {"/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_page_sharing", NULL, TST_SR_SKIP_MISSING | TST_SR_TCONF_RO}, {"/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes", "1", TST_SR_SKIP_MISSING | TST_SR_TCONF_RO}, {"/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/smart_scan", "0", TST_SR_SKIP_MISSING | TST_SR_TBROK_RO}, {} }, .needs_kconfigs = (const char *const[]){ "CONFIG_KSM=y", NULL }, .test_all = verify_ksm, };
