[LTP] [PATCH v3] mm: rewrite mtest01 with new API

Li Wang liwang@redhat.com
Fri Mar 8 11:10:49 CET 2019


 Test issue:
   mtest01 start many children to alloc chunck of memory and do write
   page(with -w option), but occasionally some children were killed by
   oom-killer and exit with SIGCHLD signal sending. After the parent
   reciving this SIGCHLD signal it will report FAIL as a test result.

   It seems not a real kernel bug if something just like that, it's
   trying to use 80% of memory and swap. Once it uses most of memory,
   system starts swapping, but the test is likely consuming memory at
   greater rate than kswapd can provide, which eventually triggers OOM.

   ---- FAIL LOG ----
   mtest01     0  TINFO  :  Total memory already used on system = 1027392 kbytes
   mtest01     0  TINFO  :  Total memory used needed to reach maximum = 12715520 kbytes
   mtest01     0  TINFO  :  Filling up 80% of ram which is 11688128 kbytes
   mtest01     1  TFAIL  :  mtest01.c:314: child process exited unexpectedly
   -------------------

 Rewrite changes:
   To make mtest01 more easier to understand, I just rewrite it into
   LTP new API and make a little changes in children behavior.

   * decrease the pressure to 80% of free memory for testing
   * drop the signal SIGCHLD action becasue new API help to check_child_status
   * make child pause itself after finishing their memory allocating/writing
   * parent sends SIGCONT to make children continue and exit
   * use TST_PROCESS_STATE_WAIT to wait child changes to 'T' state
   * involve ALLOC_THRESHOLD to rework same code in defines
   * to make mtest01 support running with -i N > 1

Notes:
    v2 --> v3
       * modify test description for new version
       * move some global variables to local
       * remove SIGCONT sending from cleanup
       * involve ALLOC_THRESHOLD to avoid same code in defines

- *  HISTORY:
- *	04/10/2001 Paul Larson (plars@us.ibm.com)
- *	  written
- *	11/09/2001 Manoj Iyer (manjo@austin.ibm.com)
- *	  Modified.
- *	  - Removed compile warnings.
- *	  - Added header file #include <unistd.h> definition for getopt()
- *	05/13/2003 Robbie Williamson (robbiew@us.ibm.com)
- *	  Modified.
- *	  - Rewrote the test to be able to execute on large memory machines.
+ *  Parent process starts several child processes (each child process is
+ *  tasked with allocating some amount of memory), it waits until all child
+ *  processes send SIGRTMIN signal and resumes all children by sending the
+ *  SIGCONT signal.
  *
+ *  Child process allocates certain amount of memory and fills it with some
+ *  data (the '-w' option) so the pages are actually allocated when the desired
+ *  amount of memory is allocated then it sends SIGRTMIN signal to the parent
+ *  process, it pauses itself by raise SIGSTOP until get parent SIGCONT signal
+ *  to continue and exit.
