[LTP] [PATCH v2 3/3] controllers/memcg: accept non-zero max_usage_in_bytes after reset

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Several Linux kernel versions report a non-zero max_usage_in_bytes after
resetting the counter.  For example v5.4, v5.8, v5.10, v5.11, v5.12 and
5.13.0-rc5:

    memcg_max_usage_in_bytes_test 4 TINFO: Test reset memory.memsw.max_usage_in_bytes
    memcg_max_usage_in_bytes_test 4 TINFO: Running memcg_process --mmap-anon -s 4194304
    memcg_max_usage_in_bytes_test 4 TINFO: Warming up pid: 1416
    memcg_max_usage_in_bytes_test 4 TINFO: Process is still here after warm up: 1416
    memcg_max_usage_in_bytes_test 4 TFAIL: memory.memsw.max_usage_in_bytes is 4325376, 4194304 expected
    memcg_max_usage_in_bytes_test 4 TFAIL: memory.memsw.max_usage_in_bytes is 122880, 0 expected

It seems that recent Linux kernel still notices some memory allocation
by the memcg tool.  Accept therefore a range from 0 to 32 pages.
