Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] selftests/cgroup: test_zswap: fix implicit unsigned promotion bug in test_no_kmem_bypass
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 03:33:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824033533.2147900-3-wfelipe@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824033533.2147900-1-wfelipe@google.com>
In test_no_kmem_bypass(), delta (stored_pages * page_size - zswapped) is
checked against stored_pages * page_size / 4 to verify that the pages
pushed to zswap belong to the test memory cgroup.
Due to slight stat update timing differences, delta can evaluate to a small
negative number (e.g. -5MB out of 1GB). Because delta is declared as a
signed int and stored_pages is an unsigned size_t, C's usual arithmetic
conversions implicitly promote a negative delta to a large unsigned 64-bit
integer, causing `delta < stored_pages * page_size / 4` to falsely evaluate
to 0 and fail the test.
Fix this by declaring zswapped and delta as signed longs and comparing
against a signed threshold, ensuring negative deltas correctly evaluate
to true.
Fixes: a549f9f31561a ("selftests: cgroup: add test_zswap with no kmem bypass test")
