[LTP] [PATCH v3 2/2] swapon03: Try to swapon() as many files until it fails

[Petr Vorel]

Hi,

> Previously tst_max_swapfiles() had fine tuning for a specific kernel
> version which was fragile due various backports in enterprise kernels.

> Let's try to create and use as many swap files until swapon() fails.
> Then check for expected EPERM.

> Also test swapon() 2x, first in the setup() when first failure happen,
> then in the test function (easier than propagate errno from fork to the
> main function). Therefore add -i2 into runtest/syscalls.

> It was required to increase cmd_buffer size to avoid directive output
> may be truncated warning.

...

>  	used_swapfiles = tst_count_swaps();
> -	swapfiles = max_swapfiles - used_swapfiles;
> -	if (swapfiles > max_swapfiles)
> -		swapfiles = max_swapfiles;

And merging this should be followed with removing tst_max_swapfiles()

I forget to add it to v3, therefore I keep this patch opened in patchwork.
I'm sorry for the noise.

Kind regards,
