[LTP] [PATCH v2] Migrating the libhugetlbfs/testcases/alloc-instantiate-race.c test

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Samir,

Not a whole review, just few notes.

nit: missing static:
$ make check-hugemmap36
hugemmap36.c:28:15: warning: Symbol 'totpages' has no prototype or library ('tst_') prefix. Should it be static?
hugemmap36.c:91:6: warning: Symbol 'check_online_cpus' has no prototype or library ('tst_') prefix. Should it be static?

You added hugemmap36 without -m ... parameter, but that fails.
I also wonder if we should test both private and shared or just one.
Also, if one more important, maybe it could be a default (thus no mandatory to
pass it with -m ...) and the other one optional.

Also I get warning for shared:

hugemmap36.c:105: TBROK: At least 2 online CPUs are required : ECHILD (10)

Ideally it'd allow to run test more times with -iN or -IN.

Could you please rebase your branch before posting a new version?
(conflict in the runtest and .gitignore)

Shouldn't be here at least minimal usleep() to avoid burning CPU?
Maybe not, because test is really fast.

Do we need to document this?

It should tst_brk(TBROK, ...) on invalid parameter:
1) tst_brk() to quit the testing immediately
2) TBROK is more suitable than TFAIL in this case.
I also find "Usage:mmap<private|shared>" misleading - I first tried
"mmapprivate".

As I said, one could of these be a default.

maybe:
		{"m:", &str_op, "Type of mmap() mapping <private|shared>"},

(see ./hugemmap36 -h for whole output)

Kind regards,
