Subject: [PATCH 0/2] selftests/cgroup: test_zswap: fix single-core flakes
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 04:20:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804042053.56940-1-wfelipe@google.com> (raw)
When running the cgroup zswap selftests on a single-core VM (-smp 1) with
4GB of RAM, test_zswap_writeback and test_no_kmem_bypass reliably fail on
the initial run after boot due to timing and asynchronous tasks not
completed.
This 2-patch series fixes both initial-run failures:
* Patch 1 fixes an EBUSY race in test_zswap_writeback() where writing
"+memory" to cgroup.subtree_control collides with the kernel's
asynchronous RCU removal of dead child tasks from cgroup.procs.
* Patch 2 fixes an implicit unsigned integer promotion bug in
test_no_kmem_bypass() where a small negative delta becomes large when
compared to an unsigned size_t threshold.
Both tests now reliably pass on the initial run after cold boot on -smp 1
VMs.
