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) { if (access(PATH_KSM, F_OK) == -1) tst_brk(TCONF, "KSM configuration is not enabled"); parse_ksm_options(opt_sizestr, &size, opt_numstr, &num, opt_unitstr, &unit); /* * kernel commit 90bd6fd introduced a new KSM sysfs knob * /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes, setting it to '0' * will prevent KSM pages being merged across numa nodes, * which will cause the case fail, so we need to make sure * it is enabled before testing. */ if (access(PATH_KSM "merge_across_nodes", F_OK) == 0) { SAFE_FILE_SCANF(PATH_KSM "merge_across_nodes", "%d", &merge_across_nodes); SAFE_FILE_PRINTF(PATH_KSM "merge_across_nodes", "1"); } } static void cleanup(void) { if (access(PATH_KSM "merge_across_nodes", F_OK) == 0) FILE_PRINTF(PATH_KSM "merge_across_nodes", "%d", merge_across_nodes); } static struct tst_test test = { .needs_root = 1, .forks_child = 1, .options = ksm_options, .setup = setup, .cleanup = cleanup, .save_restore = save_restore, .test_all = verify_ksm, .min_kver = "2.6.32", };
