[LTP] [PATCH v3 1/2] lib: add .request_hugepages to reserve hugepage

Li Wang liwang@redhat.com
Wed Dec 18 10:02:01 CET 2019


Many of the ltp tests need to use hugepage in their testing, this allows
the test can reserve hpages from system only via .request_hugepages = xx.

If set non-zero number of request_hugepages, test will try to reserve the
expected number of hugepage for testing in setup phase. If system does not
have enough hpage for using, it will try the best to reserve 80% available
number of hpages. For a system without hugetlb supporting, variable
'tst_hugepage' will be set to 0.

Notes:
    v2 --> v3
      * rename .needs_hugepages to .request_hugepages
      * rename tst_no_hugepage to tst_hugepages
      * makes tst_request_hugepages() return tst_hugepages
      * call tst_sys_conf_save in tst_hugepage.c

+2.2.34 Reserving hugepages
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Many of the ltp tests need to use hugepage in their testing, this allows the
+test can reserve hugepages from system only via .request_hugepages = xx.
+
+If set non-zero number of request_hugepages, test will try to reserve the
+expected number of hugepage for testing in setup phase. If system does not
+have enough hpage for using, it will try the best to reserve 80% available
+number of hpages. With success test stores the reserved hugepage number in
+'tst_hugepages. For the system without hugetlb supporting, variable
+'tst_hugepages' will be set to 0.
+
+Also, we do cleanup and restore work for the hpages resetting automatically.
