Subject: [PATCH v7 1/8] selftests/cgroup: skip test_zswap if zswap is globally disabled
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:00:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424040059.12940-2-li.wang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424040059.12940-1-li.wang@linux.dev>
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.
