1Testcase 03

4This test verifies that when you online a new CPU, that the scheduler
5takes advantage of it by shifting some of its workloads onto it.  We do
6this by offlining a CPU, creating a bunch of processor intensive
7processes, and then onlining the CPU, and checking to make sure at least
8one of the processes moved to that CPU.

11Algorithm
12=========
13Given a CPU to test that exists
14
15Take a snapshot of what CPUs are on and off initially
16
17Loop until done:
18  Online all of the CPUs and note their state
19
20  Offline the specified CPU
21
22  Start up a number of processes equal to twice the number of CPUs we
23  have, so we can be pretty sure that we've got enough processes that at
24  least one will migrate to the new CPU.
25
26  Now online the specified CPU
27
28  Wait a few seconds, to allow the process scheduler to move processes
29  around a bit.
30
31  Verify that at least one process has migrated to the new CPU by
32  looking at the output from 'ps -o psr -o com' and searching for our
33  CPU running the process.
34
35
36When exiting:
37  Kill all of the load processes
38
39  Restore all CPUs to their initial state
