Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] selftests/cgroup: Add tests for zswap proactive writeback
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 20:22:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525122242.36127-5-jiahao.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525122242.36127-1-jiahao.kernel@gmail.com>
From: Hao Jia <jiahao1@lixiang.com>
Add test_zswap_proactive_writeback() to cover the new memory.reclaim
"zswap_writeback_only" key. The test populates a memory cgroup zswap
pool, triggers proactive writeback, and verifies the behavior by
observing the change in zswpwb_proactive. Invalid input combinations
are also covered.
Extend test_zswap_writeback_one() to assert that the existing
non-proactive writeback path leaves zswpwb_proactive at zero.
