Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] selftests/cgroup: skip test_zswap if zswap is globally disabled
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 14:10:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322061038.156146-2-liwang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322061038.156146-1-liwang@redhat.com>
test_zswap currently only checks whether zswap is present by testing
/sys/module/zswap. This misses the runtime global state exposed in
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled.
When zswap is built/loaded but globally disabled, the zswap cgroup
selftests run in an invalid environment and may fail spuriously.
Check the runtime enabled state before running the tests:
- skip if zswap is not configured,
- fail if the enabled knob cannot be read,
- skip if zswap is globally disabled.
Also print a hint in the skip message on how to enable zswap.

Notes:
v4:
- No changes.
v3:
- Replace tri-state zswap_enabled() with check_zswap_enabled() for clearer flow.
- Move skip/fail decisions into the helper instead of branching in main().
- Make read failure reporting more explicit by naming
`/sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled`.
- Keep skip hint for enabling zswap:
`echo 1 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled`.
v2:
- remove enable/disable_zswap functions
- skip the test if zswap is not enabled
- reporting fail when zswap_enabled return -1
