Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] selftest/cgroup: fix zswap test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink on large pagesize system
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 12:35:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313043532.103987-6-liwang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313043532.103987-1-liwang@redhat.com>

test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink uses fixed zswap/memory limits and
allocation sizes that are too small on systems with large PAGE_SIZE
(e.g. 64K). In that case, the test may fail to build enough pressure
to trigger zswap writeback reliably, leading to false failures.

Make the test size parameters PAGE_SIZE-aware and consistent:
  - set control_allocation_size to PAGE_SIZE * 1024,
  - set memory.zswap.max to PAGE_SIZE,
  - set memory.max of both cgroups to control_allocation_size / 2,
  - allocate control_allocation_size in wb_group (2x memory.max).

This keeps the test behavior stable across 4K and 64K PAGE_SIZE
configurations and avoids spurious failures in
test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink.

=== Error Log ===
 # getconf PAGESIZE

 # ./test_zswap
 TAP version 13
 ...
 ok 5 test_zswap_writeback_disabled
 ok 6 # SKIP test_no_kmem_bypass
 not ok 7 test_no_invasive_cgroup_shrink

Notes:
    v3:
    	- Make PAGE_SIZE aware instead of using fixed sizing.
    	- Set memory.max for  wb_group/control_group to control_allocation_size/2.
    	- Update wb_group pressure allocation to control_allocation_size.
    	- Clarify commit message to focus on this test's sizing issue.
    v2:
    	- No change.
