This patchset aims to fix various spurious failures and improve the overall
robustness of the cgroup zswap selftests.
The primary motivation is to make the tests compatible with architectures
that use non-4K page sizes (such as 64K on ppc64le and arm64). Currently,
the tests rely heavily on hardcoded 4K page sizes and fixed memory limits.
On 64K page size systems, these hardcoded values lead to sub-page granularity
accesses, incorrect page count calculations, and insufficient memory pressure
to trigger zswap writeback, ultimately causing the tests to fail.
Additionally, this series addresses OOM kills occurring in test_swapin_nozswap
by dynamically scaling memory limits, and prevents spurious test failures
when zswap is built into the kernel but globally disabled.
Changes in v5:
Patch 1/8: Defined PATH_ZSWAP and PATH_ZSWAP_ENABLED macros.
Patch 4/8: Merge Waiman's work into this patch (use page_size).
Patch 5/8: Change pagesize by the global page_size.
Patch 6/8: Swap data patterns: use getrandom() for wb_group and simple
memset for zw_group to fix the reversed allocation logic.
Patch 7/8: Setting zswap.max to zswap_usage/4 to increase writeback pressure.
Patch 8/8: New added. Just add loops for read zswpwb more times.
Test all passed on:
x86_64(4k), aarch64(4K, 64K), ppc64le(64K).
