Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] selftests/cgroup: skip test_zswap if zswap is globally disabled
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 14:10:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322061038.156146-2-liwang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322061038.156146-1-liwang@redhat.com>

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.

Notes:
    v4:
         - No changes.
    
    v3:
         - Replace tri-state zswap_enabled() with check_zswap_enabled() for clearer flow.
         - Move skip/fail decisions into the helper instead of branching in main().
         - Make read failure reporting more explicit by naming
           `/sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled`.
         - Keep skip hint for enabling zswap:
           `echo 1 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled`.
    
     v2:
         - remove enable/disable_zswap functions
         - skip the test if zswap is not enabled
         - reporting fail when zswap_enabled return -1
